▶Genetic variants associated with disordered eatingAssociationN=2,564Tracey D. Wade et al.(2013)· International Journal of Eating Disorders
This GWAS examined genetic variants associated with disordered eating in 2,564 female twins using four eating disorder phenotypes (anorexia nervosa spectrum, bulimia nervosa spectrum, purging via substances, and disordered eating behaviors). Six regions reached suggestive significance (p<5×10⁻⁷), implicating CLEC5A, LOC136242, TSHZ1, and SYTL5 for anorexia nervosa spectrum; NT5C1B for bulimia nervosa spectrum; and ATP8A2 for disordered eating behaviors. No variants reached genome-wide significance at p<10⁻⁸.
About MSRA
This gene encodes a ubiquitous and highly conserved protein that carries out the enzymatic reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine. Human and animal studies have shown the highest levels of expression in kidney and nervous tissue. The protein functions in the repair of oxidatively damaged proteins to restore biological activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
