Özet

Objectives: DNA repair mechanisms work insufficiently in T2DM patients and hyperglycemia seen in diabetes disturbs the oxidant-antioxidant balance thus cause oxidative damage on DNA. The effects of the DNA repair genes' have not yet been investigated on diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between APE1 Asp148Glu and XPG Asp1104His polymorphisms with T2DM in the Turkish population.
