Each host genetic factors could actively participate in the evolution of Chagas disease. Whereas the variability of phenotypic expression of the CCM could be because of genetic components of the patient, we decided to do a descriptive study of genotype frequencies (GF) of SOD-Mn Ala-9-Val, the enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT), and as marker of inflammation factor tumor necrosis (TNFalpha) in chagasic patients with cardiomyopathy (G1) and without cardiomyopathy (G2) compared with healthy controls (CN).application/pdfengopenAccessInflamationOxidative stressGene expressionChagasic cardiomyopathyconferenceObjectMartí, María BelénLioi, SusanaGerrard, GabrielaCeruti, María JoséDiviani, RominaBeloscar, JuanD'Arrigo, MabelUniversidad Nacional de Rosario.
