Ever experienced an eating disorder?
Help us uncover the genetics behind anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
The Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative 2 (EDGI2) is the world’s largest genetics investigation into eating disorders.
Building on the success of the initial Eating Disorders Genetics Initiative (EDGI), our local team is committed to continuing to identify the dozens of genes that make a person susceptible to developing anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder and ARFID, in order to improve treatments, and ultimately save lives.
