摘要：

The mannose binding lectin (MBL2) polymorphism is responsible for a common immunodeficiency in the human species. There were suggestions that the MBL2 polymorphism has been under balancing selection, based on the high global frequency of alleles generating MBL deficiency and on the worldwide distribution of diseases negatively associated with them. To describe the distribution of MBL2 allelic haplotypes in Brazilian populations and to discuss the evolution of this polymorphism, we analyzed six South Brazilian populations (152 Guarani Amerindian, 239 Kaingang Amerindian, 107 admixed, Brazilian 32 Afro-Brazilian, 202 Euro-Brazilian and 16 Oriental-Brazilian). Eight haplotypes were observed: MBL2*HYPA, LYQA, LYPA, LXPA, LYPB, LYQC, HYPD, and LYPD. In addition, through sequencing of the promoter and exon I from Amerindian and Oriental individuals, three new single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in the MBL2 promoter region in the Kaingang. Analysis of the sequencing data by neutrality tests (Tajima's D and Fu and Li's D* and F*) revealed no deviation from selective neutrality equilibrium in the Guarani and Kaingang. Significant Fay and Wu's H results are explained by the recent gene flow in these populations. Contrarily to previous thoughts, stochastic evolutionary factors seem therefore to have bad a predominant role in shaping the MBL2 polymorphism, at least in the Amerindians.
