Narrowing the Relationship between Human CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms and Chagas Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Our aim was to carry out a qualitative and quantitative synthesis of the influence of CCR5 genetic variants on Chagas disease (CD) through a systematic review. A total of 1197 articles were analyzed, and eleven were included in the review. A meta-analysis was conducted along with principal component analyses (PCAs). The polymorphisms found were analyzed using the SNP2TFBS tool to identify possible variants that influence the interaction with gene binding sites. Eleven studied variants were identified: rs2856758, rs2734648, rs1799987, rs1799988, rs41469351, rs1800023, rs1800024, Δ32/rs333, rs3176763, rs3087253 and rs11575815. The studies analyzed were published between 2001 and 2019, conducted in Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Colombia and Venezuela, and included Argentine, Brazilian, Colombian,
