Article Synopsis
- Chagas disease, a lifelong infection caused by protozoa, leads to chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) in 20-30% of infected individuals, with links to pro-inflammatory responses and IL-10 levels.
- A case control study in Buenos Aires involved 122 individuals, analyzing genetic variants of IL-10 (specifically three polymorphisms) to determine their relationship with CCC.
- The results showed a significant association between specific IL-10 genotypes (-819 TT and -592 AA) and an increased likelihood of developing CCC, indicating a potential genetic risk factor.
