EFFECTS OF ADRENAL & GONADAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT IN YOUNG WOMEN W/AN

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。本研究的目的是确定与神经性厌食症年轻女性高或低骨密度相关的基因。神经性厌食症患者有早期骨质流失和早期骨质疏松的危险。从以前的研究中，我们知道一个人的骨密度在很大程度上是由遗传给家庭成员的基因决定的。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this research study is to identify genes that are assosicated with a high or low bone density in young women with anorexia nervosa. Patients with anorexia nervosa are at risk for early bone loss and the early development of brittle bones or osteoporosis. From previous research, we know that a person's bone density is determined to a large extent by genes passed down through family members.
