Introduction: Single nucleotide polymorphic variants of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene have been related with a tendency to gain weight according to recent studies. The aetiology of atypical anorexia nervosa remains under investigation and might be associated with the genetic background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the presence of A1298C or C677T polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene and weight status in a sample of adolescent ...
