Karyotyping of women with anorexia nervosa
J Walinder and G Mellbin
As a contribution to an international pool, chromosomal analysis was
carried out on 30 women with anorexia nervosa. The stimulus for this study
was that during the last decade nine cases have been described of
coincidence between Turner's syndrome and anorexia nervosa. Of the 30 women
here examined, all had normal chromosomal constitution.
