Abstract excerpt

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate functional catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genetic variation as a risk factor for eating disorders (ED). METHOD: Eighty women receiving treatment for serious ED (52 for anorexia nervosa, 28 for bulimia nervosa) and 116 age-matched females in the control group underwent COMT genotyping for polymorphism in exon 4 (codon 158). Both the low-activity allele and the...
