Genome-wide association study identifies eight risk loci and implicates metabo-psychiatric origins for anorexia nervosa

Hunna J. Watson, +258 more
- 01 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: The genetic architecture of anorexia nervosa mirrors its clinical presentation, showing significant genetic correlations with psychiatric disorders, physical activity, and metabolic (including glycemic), lipid and anthropometric traits, independent of the effects of common variants associated with body-mass index.

A genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa

Vesna Boraska, +175 more

Journal ArticleDOI

Set-shifting abilities, central coherence, and handedness in anorexia nervosa patients, their unaffected siblings and healthy controls: Exploring putative endophenotypes

TL;DR: The authors found that anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with an impairment of set-shifting abilities and central coherence and no study to date investigated handedness in AN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time Trends in Age at Onset of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa
