An eight-SNP haplotype at the estrogen receptor I (ESR1) gene was found to be associated with anorexia nervosa (AN) (Versini et al., Neuropsychopharmacology, 35, 1818-1825, 2010) and three SNPs from this haplotype (rs726281, rs2295193, and rs3798577) were associated with AN and/or EDs.

However an association was found at the ESR2 locus with the heterozygous genotype of the G1082A polymorphism and AN but not with any of the other ESR2 polymorphisms analysed.
