A syndrome may be a set of medical signs and symptoms which are correlated with one another and sometimes related to a specific disease or disorder. The word derives from the Greek language, meaning "concurrence". In some cases, a syndrome is so closely related with a pathogenesis or cause that the words disease, syndrome, and disorder end up being used interchangeably for them. This is especially true of inherited syndromes. For example, mongolism , Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome, and Andersen syndrome are disorders with known pathogeneses, so each is quite just a group of signs and symptoms, despite the syndrome nomenclature. In other instances, a syndrome isn't specific to just one disease. For example, toxic shock syndrome are often caused by various toxins; premotor syndrome are often caused by various brain lesions; and PMS isn't a disease but simply a set of symptoms.

If an underlying genetic cause is suspected but not known, a condition could also be mentioned as a genetic association. By definition, an association indicates that the gathering of signs and symptoms occurs together more frequently than would be likely accidentally alone.
