Study Participation
Genetic Study of Anorexia Nervosa

ENROLLMENT CLOSED

Thank you for taking interest in our research study.  At this time, enrollment for this study has been closed.

For ongoing eating disorders research studies, please check our Brain Imaging Studies website.


Please help us determine whether genes contribute to anorexia nervosa.

A multicenter, international study is seeking to determine whether a gene or genes might predispose individuals to develop anorexia nervosa.

We seek families with at least two members who have or had anorexia nervosa, and who would be willing to participate. Individuals who speak English (German for the Munich site), and who meet our study protocol are eligible for participation in this study. If you and your family member(s) volunteer to participate in the study and meet the eligibility standards, you and your family member(s) will be required to complete a questionnaire booklet, to provide a sample of blood and to participate in some assessments made through a series of personal interviews.

Participants will not need to travel; everything can be done where you live. The questionnaires and interviews can be done by telephone and the blood can be drawn at a qualified laboratory near you.

Eligible participants will be paid upon completion of the study.
If you think your family might be eligible and you wish to participate in our study, you can either:

  • Fill out a contact form online and you will be contacted by one of the participating sites.
  • Call our toll free number 1-888-895-3886 to speak with one of our research representatives.
