The genetic variability of 61 Trypanosoma cruzi isolates from 47 chronic chagasic patients of Minas Gerais state was analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) using M13-40, lambda gt11-F, and L15996 primers. Cluster analysis by unweighted pair group method analysis was applied to RAPD profiles, and cluster analysis used to verify a possible correlation among different clinical forms of the disease from these patients. The T. cruzi isolates showed distinct grouping on tree topology, with the isolates not being possible to establish a correlation to the clinical forms of Chagas' disease. These data showed that the T. cruzi isolates from these patients would compose a group of populations well correlated genetically.
