Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the leptin receptor gene: studies in anorexia nervosa.

Psychiatric genetics - 1 Dec 2004

Quinton N D, Meechan D W, Brown K, Eastwood H, Blakemore A I F

Abstract excerpt

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder of unknown aetiology. There is significant evidence for a genetic component in the pathogenesis of this disorder. A region on chromosome 1 has been identified as a susceptibility locus. The leptin receptor has been mapped to a similar region, further upstream of this susceptibility locus. Leptin and its receptor are known to be important factors in the control and regulation...
