ABSTRACT
The results of the examination of association of polymorphisms of DNA repair genes and chromosomal aberrations in lung cancer patients are discussed. A significant positive association between the hOGG1 G/G genotypes, XPD G/G genotype and lung cancer was found. The hOGG1 C/C genotypes were significantly negatively associated with lung cancer. The patient chromosomal aberration frequencies were significantly higher than in control. Carriers of all APE1 and XPD genotypes, XRCC1 G/G genotype, ADPRT T/T genotype, hOGG1 C/C and Ser/Cys genotypes had statistically significant differences in the level of the chromosomal aberrations between patient and control groups. Statistically significant differences in the level of chromosomal aberrations between XPD T/T and G/G genotype of lung cancer patients were observed.
