We performed association studies with 5,151 SNPs that were judged as likely candidate
genetic variations conferring susceptibility to anorexia nervosa (AN) based on location …

Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa (AN), have a significant genetic component. In
the current study, a genomewide linkage analysis of 192 families with at least one affected …

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder presenting with dangerously
low body weight, and a deep and persistent fear of gaining weight. To date, only one …

Anorexia nervosa is a perplexing illness with the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric
disease. In this paper, we review the genetic research on anorexia nervosa (AN). Family …

Background: Eating disorders have not traditionally been viewed as heritable illnesses;
however, recent family and twin studies lend credence to the potential role of genetic …

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex disorder with a strong genetic component.
Comorbidities are frequent and there is substantial overlap with other disorders. The lack of …

This analysis is a follow‐up to an earlier investigation of 182 genes selected as likely
candidate genetic variations conferring susceptibility to anorexia nervosa (AN). As those …

Abstract Objective: Supported by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), this 12‐site
international collaboration seeks to identify genetic variants that affect risk for anorexia …

Background Even though the evidence supporting the presence of a heritable component in
the aetiology of anorexia nervosa (AN) is strong, the underlying genetic mechanisms remain …

Objective Although the genetic contribution to the development of anorexia nervosa (AN)
has long been recognized, there has been little progress relative to other psychiatric …
