There actually isn't much chemistry behind it, at leat none that is truly known. Mostly, anorexia is considered a mental disorder with physical manifestations. The basic chemistry is that the mind is convinced it that the body needs to lose weight (which it usually does, along with other side effects and incidents), and that is does not want the body to eat.

What is the cause if you have anorexia in genetic?

It's just hereditary habits, like how if your mum and your dad likes a certain food, then you most likely will: it's traits passed down from you parents, or your ancestry.
