  ABSTRACT: Objective While the genetic contribution to the development of anorexia nervosa (AN) has long been recognized, there has been little progress relative to other psychiatric disorders in identifying specific susceptibility genes. Here we have carried out a GWAS on an unselected community sample of female twins surveyed for eating disorders. Method We conducted genome wide association analyses in 2564 female twins for four different phenotypes derived from self-report data relating to lifetime presence of 15 types of disordered eating: anorexia nervosa spectrum, bulimia nervosa spectrum, purging via substances, and a binary measure of no disordered eating behaviors versus 3 or more. To complement the variant level results we also conducted gene-based association tests using VEGAS. R
