RESUMEN
Resumen Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria son un problema de salud pública. La etiología de la enfermedad es desconocida, pero se sugiere que tiene una base psiquiátrica, química y biológica. El objetivo de esta revisión es presentar evidencias de cómo la investigación genómica ha contribuido en el estudio de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria y muestra la intensa investigación dirigida a conocer los genes que pudieran estar participando en la etiológica de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria.
