Brief Title
Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative
Protocol ID
NCT04378101
Lead Sponsor
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Brief Summary
The overarching intention of the Eating Disorder Genetics Initiative (EDGI) is to lay the
foundation for all future genomic discovery in eating disorders--anorexia nervosa (AN),
bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED)--by exploring both genetic and
behavioral factors. To do this, information will be collected from 4000 people who have
provided DNA samples for the Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative (ANGI) and the same
information and DNA will be collected from an additional 16,000 people. The goal is to
better understand eating disorders and how they relate to each other so that better
treatments can be developed.
