Objective: The authors conducted a genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa
and calculated genetic correlations with a series of psychiatric, educational, and metabolic …

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) and bulimia nervosa (BN), have genetic
and environmental underpinnings. To explore genetic contributions to AN, we measured …

Characterized primarily by a low body-mass index, anorexia nervosa is a complex and
serious illness, affecting 0.9–4% of women and 0.3% of men,–, with twin-based heritability …

Abstract Purpose of Review Genetic factors contribute to the etiology of anorexia nervosa
(AN). This review synthesizes the current state of knowledge about the genetic etiology of …

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex and heritable eating disorder characterized by
dangerously low body weight. Neither candidate gene studies nor an initial genome-wide …

Anorexia nervosa (AN) occurs nine times more often in females than in males. Although
environmental factors likely play a role, the reasons for this imbalanced sex ratio 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 …

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) and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) are often comorbid and
likely to share genetic risk factors. Hence, we examine their shared genetic background …
