Abstract

GENIS-MENDOZA, Alma D; TOVILLA-ZARATE, Carlos Alfonso  and  NICOLINI, Humberto. Genomic Advances in Eating Behavior Disorders. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2013, vol.42, n.4, pp.350-355. ISSN 0034-7450.

Abstract Eating behavior disorders are a public health issue. The etiology of these types of disorders is unknown, and they may have psychiatric, chemical and biological origins. The aim of this review is to present evidence that shows the contribution of genomic research in the study of eating behavior disorders. It also shows the considerable research that has been undertaken to identify the genes that may participate in the etiology of eating behavior disorders.

Keywords : Eating; Disorders; Gene.
