GWAS loci associated with Chagas cardiomyopathy influences DNA methylation levels
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified a locus in chromosome 11 associated with the chronic cardiac form of Chagas disease. Here we aimed to elucidate the potential functional mechanism underlying this genetic association by analyzing ...

Cardiac Fabry Disease With Late Gadolinium Enhancement Is a Chronic Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy
Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in α-galactosidase A. Sphingolipid accumulates in organs including the heart, causing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac involvement is the leading cause of death in FD.

CCL3/Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1α Is Dually Involved in Parasite Persistence and Induction of a TNF- and IFNγ-Enriched Inflammatory Milieu in Trypanosoma cruzi-Induced Chronic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
CCL3, a member of the CC-chemokine family, has been associated with macrophage recruitment to heart tissue and parasite control in the acute infection of mouse with Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Here, we approached the participation of CCL3 in chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCC), the main clinical form of Chagas disease ...
