Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious psychiatric disorder with prominent metabolic features. Although extensive AN-metabolic genetic correlations have been observed, few studies have thoroughly investigated their shared genetic mechanisms. Based on large-scale genome-wide association studies, this study examines the shared genetic architecture between AN and seven common cardiometabolic traits (body...
