Lead is a toxic metal, which due to its superb properties is used in many industries. Due to the wide spectrum of its effects to human body it is very important to enhance the knowledge on the mechanisms of lead’s toxicity as well as to identify genetic determinants of defense against the harmful effects. DNA repair is one of the most important defense mechanisms against damage induced by lead. Gene polymorphisms may influence the recovery rate and recovery efficiency, and thus shape the individual susceptibility to lead exposure.
