  ABSTRACT: Introduction: DNA repair enzymes continuously monitor DNA to correct damaged nucleotide residues generated by exposure to environmental mutagenic and cytotoxic compounds or carcinogens. Our objective was to investigate the association among XRCC1 (Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp), XRCC3 (Thr241Met), XPD-ERCC2 (Lys751Gln), APE1 (Asp241Glu), PARP-ADPRT (Val762Ala) DNA repair gene polymorphisms and lung cancer in Turkish population. Materials and Methods: Our patient group consists of 90 patients with lung cancer and the control group had 100 healthy individuals all of those smoking. DNA was extracted using the whole blood samples. PCR- RFLP technique was used to investigate the polymorphisms on target genes. Results: There was no significant difference in the genotype distributions of XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, XRCC3 Thr241Met, APE1 Asp241Glu between lung cancer patients and controls for each polymorphism (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference between the genotype distributions of XRCC1 Arg399Gln, and PARP Val762Ala in patients and the control group (p > 0.05). Discussion: Only the polymorphisms of XRCC1 codon 399 and PARP Val762Ala alleles are associated with the risk of lung cancer. Other genotypes were not related to lung cancer.
