Sleep-related eating disorder in fraternal twins.
Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is characterized by nocturnal partial arousals associated with compulsive consumption of food and altered levels of consciousness. Reports of an increased incidence of SRED in relatives of affected individuals suggest a genetic predisposition. We report a woman with SRED whose fraternal twin sister and father are also affected.
