A genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa suggests a risk locus implicated in dysregulated leptin signaling

Abstract We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of anorexia nervosa (AN) using a stringently defined phenotype. Analysis of phenotypic variability led to the identification of a specific genetic risk factor that approached genome-wide significance (rs929626 in EBF1 (Early B-Cell Factor...
