Note: This study found no significant biological effects under its experimental conditions. We include all studies for scientific completeness.
The number of genes changing expression after chronic exposure to Code Division Multiple Access or Frequency DMA radiofrequency radiation does not exceed the false-positive rate.

View Original AbstractCell phone radiation at 5 W/kg caused no detectable gene expression changes above random chance, even at levels higher than typical phone use.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mouse cells to cell phone radiation at 5 watts per kilogram for 24 hours to see if it changed gene activity. They found no meaningful changes in gene expression - the few changes they detected were no more than would occur by random chance. This suggests cell phone radiation at this level doesn't trigger cellular responses that could lead to biological effects.
Study Details
Experiments with cultured C3H 10T 1/2 cells were performed to determine if exposure to cell phone radiofrequency (RF) radiations induce changes in gene expression
Following a 24 h exposure of 5 W/kg specific adsorption rate, RNA was extracted from the exposed and...
The number of gene expression changes induced by RF radiation was not greater than the number of fal...
