C-type lectin DC-SIGN receptor, encoded by CD209, plays a key role in the infection of dendritic cells by dengue virus (DENV). Because the -336A/G SNP (rs4804803) polymorphism in the promoter of CD209 modulates DC-SIGN expression, we investigated the putative association of this polymorphism with DENV infection and its pathogenesis. A control sample of 72 individuals, rigorously selected through a clinical investigation for absence of past dengue fever (DF) was compared to a sample of 168 patients (156 classical DF; 12 dengue hemorrhagic fever), all residents from Pará, Brazil. However, the prevalence of symptoms showed a trend higher in the AA genotype (Wilcoxon test; Z=2.02; p=0.04). Hence, our findings indicate that the G allele downregulates the spectrum of symptoms during the early acute phase of DENV infection, putatively decreasing the viremia, as suggested in the literature.
