Abstract

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is determined by multiple factors which remain poorly understood. The evidence for genes as one of these factors is consistent. This project aims to initiate a pilot study of four genes with plausible biological hypotheses and positional evidence from linkage studies for involvement in AN. This project will bring together the expertise of two researchers who have not previously collaborated to develop VCU's first study of the molecular genetics of eating disorders.
