Genetic Links Between Eating Disorders and Other Psychiatric Disorders

Genetic Links Between Eating Disorders and Other Psychiatric Disorders

Genome analysis of over 20,000 British individuals has revealed genetic links between eating disorders, mental illnesses, and body weight regulation.
Many recent studies have pointed out that anorexia nervosa shares predisposing genetic markers with various other psychiatric disorders.
Genetic associations of anthropometric traits (like weight, BMI, or waist circumference) are different for each eating disorder, making the genetic predisposition to these traits a distinctive feature.
Nadia Micali, who led the research team, explains,
"Previous studies, which highlighted a genetic association between a high risk of anorexia nervosa and a low risk of obesity, have begun to lift the veil on certain aspects of how eating disorders develop that had been mostly neglected until then."
