Eating disorders are complex heritable conditions influenced by both genetic and
environmental factors. Given the progress of genomic discovery in anorexia nervosa, with …

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 …

Enabled by advances in high throughput genomic sequencing and an unprecedented level
of global data sharing, molecular genetic research is beginning to unlock the biological …

Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by intense preoccupation with shape and weight
and maladaptive eating practices. The complex of symptoms that characterize EDs often …

Objective Evidence associates anorexia nervosa (AN) with epigenetic alterations that could
contribute to illness risk or entrenchment. We investigated the extent to which AN is …

Eating disorders (EDs) are serious psychiatric conditions influenced by biological,
psychological, and sociocultural factors. A better understanding of the genetics of these …

Genome-wide-association studies (GWASs), epigenetic, gene-expression and gene–gene
interaction projects, nutritional genomics and investigations of the gut microbiota have …

Substantial progress has been made in the understanding of anorexia nervosa (AN) and
eating disorder (ED) genetics through the efforts of large-scale collaborative consortia …

Abstract Background The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI) is an international
investigation exploring the role of genes and environment in anorexia nervosa, bulimia …

Anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are complex disorders associated with
disordered eating behavior. Heritability estimates derived from twin and family studies are …
