The Genetics of Anorexia Nervosa
Corinne Gale, Dr Ereni Skouta and Prof Janet Treasure, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London

The Eating Disorders Research Unit at the Institute of Psychiatry are working together with centres in the USA, Canada and Germany. The project aims to investigate the role of genetics in the development of anorexia nervosa so that scientists can better understand and treat this illness. We are looking for families with at least two people who have or have had anorexia nervosa, and who would both be willing to participate. The study involves the completion of interviews, questionnaires and a blood sample. You would be reimbursed for your time and any expenses incurred.

If you are interested in this, or to find out about our other research projects, please visit our website or contact Corinne Gale on 020 718 80190 or e-mail c.gale@iop.kcl.ac.uk. Alternatively, you could write to us at:
