Abstract in Portuguese
A doença de Chagas é causada pelo protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi e atinge cerca de 12 milhões de pessoas no continente americano, a forma clássica de transmissão ocorre por intermédio do inseto vetor da subfamília Triatominae, popularmente chamado de barbeiro.Em um trabalho anterior, foi realizada uma análise de segregação complexa que indicou a presença de um gene principal, com um componente multifatorial influenciando a predisposição à infecção por Trypanosoma cruzi. A população é composta por 4697 indivíduos pertencentes a 886 famílias vindas do Nordeste do Brasil e tiveram os dados e amostras de sangue e saliva coletados entre 1969 e 1970.No presente estudo foi utilizada uma amostra de 69 indivíduos, sendo 18 positivos para a infecção por Trypanosoma cruzi e 51 negativos, distribuídos em 14 famílias. Os indivíduos tiveram seu DNA extraído e genotipado utilizando microarranjos de DNA de 260 K SNPs (GeneChip Mapping Affymetrix). Testes de associação mostraram significância entre a infecção por T. cruzi e o SNP rs17469997 do cromossomo 10, com P=0,015 após a correção de Bonferroni. Para validar estes inéditos resultados, análises de ligação multi-ponto foi feita com o programa GeneHunter (KRUGLYAK et al., 1996) e ligação dois-pontos com o programa SuperLink (FISHELSON e GEIGER, 2002), mas ambas não apresentaram resultados significativos, devido ao pequeno número de famílias informativas.

Abstract in English
Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan Trypanosssoma cruzi and is usually transmitted by Triatominae bugs and affects about 12 million people in the American continent. In a previous study, segregation analysis showed evidence of a major gene with a small multifactorial component influencing the predisposition to the Trypanosoma cruzi infection in a population composed by 4697 individuals of 886 families from Northeastern Brazil in 1969-1970 at São Paulo, Brazil. In the present work, 69 individuals (18 positives to T. cruzi infection and 51 negative) belonging to 14 families were selected. They had the DNA extracted and genotyped using 250K SNPs DNA microarrays (GeneChip Mapping Affymetrix). 18 SNPs showed evidence of association between infection to T. cruzi with P<10-5, although after Bonferroni's correction only the SNP rs17469997 (minor allele frequency = 0.1667, adjusted-Bonferroni P = 0.015) on chromosome 10 was significant. The other 17 SNPs that showed association with T. cruzi infection with P<10-5 can still be informative in linkage analyses. On an effort to validate these findings, a multi point linkage analyses was performed with GeneHunter (KRUGLYAK et al., 1996) program and a two point linkage analyses were performed with SuperLink (FISHELSON e GEIGER, 2002) program, both analyses showed no significant results.
