The studies on this topic are not definitive enough to say for certainty that anorexia is genetic or not. The same studies also are divided on whether this is a physical or mental illness.
In an infant at age two who will not eat it is not generally considered to be an eating disorder as it is generally the result of a physical problem This problem at times can be hard to diagnose but an eating disorder is generally not seen until the person is more self aware of their image. This is not the case for infants.
Anorexia is treatable through mostly behavioral modification which puts treatment into the psychiatric classification. Most group insurance coverage has little to poor coverage in this area. Which is why people find they are not covered for this problem.
The indecisiveness nature of the studies as to cause gives the insurance companies the out they need to refuse medical coverage.
If you know an infant that is not eating. It is not anorexia. The child is suffering from a physical ailment and may need to see doctors specializing in digestive track disorders in order to help the infant start eating again.

It depends-I can only tell you about anorexia.
The debate whether anorexia is a biological or psychological issue is still ongoing. In America, it is seen as a psychological disorder which is why insurance companies don't allow health insurance.
The consensus is that anorexia is a mixture. As a result, it can not be developed at age two.
It is partly genetic-so the child could be more likely to get anorexia. Studies have shown concordance rates can be quite high for it.
So to answer your question, no. Anorexia develops around teenage years.
