Summary

This study looks at young women with anorexia nervosa to see if changes in a gene related to appetite and wakefulness (the orexin gene) are linked to how severe their eating disorder is, whether they have depression, and how well they sleep. Researchers will compare these women to a healthy control group. The goal is to better understand the biology behind anorexia, not to test a new treatment.
