Identification and Evolutionary Analysis of Potential Candidate Genes in a Human Eating Disorder.

BioMed research international - 1 Jan 2016

Sabbagh Ubadah, Mullegama Saman, Wyckoff Gerald J

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to find genes linked with eating disorders and associated with both metabolic and neural systems. Our operating hypothesis was that there are genetic factors underlying some eating disorders resting in both those pathways. Specifically, we are interested in disorders that may rest in both sleep and metabolic function, generally called Night Eating Syndrome (NES). A meta-analysis of...
