Application of Genetic Testing for Anorexia Nervosa: An Ethical Analysis

Genetic testing for complex disorders, including AN, has tremendous potential, but is still primarily research-based. Currently, for those presenting with atypical AN, and severe and enduring AN who, by definition, have not benefited from traditional treatment, genetic testing to rule out or identify other genetic conditions could be of benefit.

Abstract

Genetic testing for complex disorders, including AN, has tremendous potential, but is still primarily research-based. Currently, for those presenting with atypical AN, and severe and enduring AN who, by definition, have not benefited from traditional treatment, genetic testing to rule out or identify other genetic conditions could be of benefit.
