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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Background Genetic factors contribute to anorexia nervosa (AN); and the first genome-wide
significant locus has been identified. We describe methods and procedures for the Anorexia …

Objective Genome‐wide association studies have identified multiple genomic regions
associated with anorexia nervosa. No genome‐wide studies of other eating disorders, such …

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 …

Disordered eating behavior is the core symptom of the complex disorders anorexia nervosa
and bulimia nervosa. Twin and family studies derive high heritability estimates. Hence …

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