--- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is divided in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), which correspond to a number of inflammatory diseases of multifactorial etiology primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract. In recent years incidence of these diseases has been increased in Brazil and in Western populations. The genes of the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) family have an important role in intestinal regulation, mainly in pro-inflammatory signaling in response to different bacterial ligands and stimulation of inflammatory responses which cause acute and chronic intestinal inflammation. Some studies have considered the TLR9 gene (receptor that recognizes the DNA) and found that some polymorphisms have been associated with this disease. For this reason, is considered as a candidate gene for susceptibility in the development of IBD. Because in Brazil has not yet been studied the relationship of these polymorphisms with IBD, the objective of this study was to analyze the frequency of polymorphisms G2848A and T-1237C from TLR9 gene in patients with IBD (European descent) from 2 Southern Brazil hospital centers and compared with healthy individuals which represented the control group. To the analyze of allelic frequencies, the populations were divided in 3 groups: group 1, patients from Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Rio Grande del Sur Hospital, group 2, patients from the Clinicas de Porto alegre Hospital, and group 3, patients from both hospitals. Our study found a role significant from heterozygote genotype for the polymorphism G2848A when it was tested in the group 1 - control (P = 0.000002) and for the group 3 - control (P = 0.00057). Also, were found significant values for this polymorphism when the population was subdivided in UC and CD. Otherwise, the polymorphism T-1237C hasn’t a significant value in the groups analyzed. The results obtained show that the heterozygote genotype G/A of the 2848A allelic variant is presented as a susceptibility factor in inflammatory bowel diseases in the population evaluated. Key words: IBD, TLR9 gene, polymorphisms, susceptibility, association.
