- Title
Genetic epidemiology of eating disorders and co-occurring conditions: The role of endophenotypes.
- Authors
Hudson, James I.; Pope Jr., Harrison G.
- Abstract
The article presents a commentary of the two papers published within the special issue on the role of endophenotypes in eating disorders (EDs). According to the authors, the papers use techniques of genetic epidemiology to examine EDs, with an eye towards refining etiologic hypotheses and influencing nosology. One paper demonstrates that various anxiety disorders coaggregate with anorexia nervosa in families and the other one reviews candidate endophenotypes that may underlie EDs.
