The Leu72Met polymorphism of the ghrelin gene is significantly associated with binge eating disorder.

Psychiatric genetics - 1 Feb 2007

Monteleone Palmiero, Tortorella Alfonso, Castaldo Eloisa, Di Filippo Carmela, Maj Mario

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying binge eating disorder are poorly understood. Evidence exists for the fact that abnormalities in peptides involved in the regulation of appetite, including ghrelin, may play a role in binge eating behavior. Genes involved in the ghrelin phys...
