Abstract
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is familial and heritable and the next logical step is to identify genes that influence risk. In the genome-wide association study (GWAS) era, for the study of complex traits such as eating disorders, large sample sizes are essential and necessitate global cooperation. The Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative (ANGI) is a collaboration of researchers and clinicians from the United States, Sweden, Demark, and Australia and New Zealand who are collecting clinical information and DNA from 13,000 individuals with AN and controls. ANGI will unite with other global efforts to a goal of 25,000 participants with AN.
