For instance, the findings group together anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette’s syndrome according to their shared genetic profile.The findings, published Dec. 10 in the journal Nature, suggest that disorders within the same group may stem from shared biological mechanisms. An understanding of these common pathways could help scientists develop treatments that…
