Chagas disease (CD) exhibits marked clinical heterogeneity during its chronic phase, which has been partially attributed to the genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi [which is currently classified into six Discrete Typing Units (DTUs, Tc I - Tc VI)]. However, establishing a direct genotype-phenotype correlation remains challenging. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 202 chronic CD patients from Córdoba,...
