Gene and protein expression following exposure to radiofrequency fields from mobile phones

Since 1999, several articles have been published on genome-wide and/or proteomewide response after exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields whose signal and intensities were similar to or typical of those of currently used mobile telephones. These studies were performed using powerful high-throughput screening techniques (HTSTs) of transcriptomics and/or proteomics, which allow for the simultaneous screening of the expression of thousands of genes or proteins.
