disorder (BED) are the primary eating disorders (EDs). The only psychopharmacological …

Eating disorders (ED) including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge
eating disorder (BED) affect up to 5% of the population in Western countries. Risk factors for …

The maintenance of normal body weight is disrupted in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN)
for prolonged periods of time. Prior to the onset of AN, premorbid body mass index (BMI) …

Purpose We aimed to analyze the association between common polymorphisms in
dopamine pathways with personality dimensions frequently present in patients with eating …

Purpose The endocannabinoid system plays a key role in eating behavior regulating
appetite and reward mechanisms, but the impact of its genetic variability has been scarcely …

Background Many studies have proposed that the pathogenesis of obesity has a genetic
basis, with an important risk factor being the presence of polymorphisms in the region of the …

Abstract Introduction TFAP 2B and KCTD 15 are obesity‐related genes that interact to
regulate feeding behavior. We hypothesize that variability in these loci, isolated or in …

Our aim was to determine whether variability in the fat mass obesity (FTO) gene locus,
consistently related to obesity, affects the risk of eating disorders (ED) and/or the …

Purpose. Genome-wide association studies have found two obesity-related single-
