The Effect of Radiofrequency Waves on Pregnant Mice in Association with Genes Involved in Neuronal Migration

" The study and control groups were exposed to the radiofrequency field with the average specific absorption rate value of 0.725 W/kg, 12 hours a day until birth. Total RNA and cDNA were obtained from postnatal brain tissue of newborn mice. Alterations in the expression of 7 (ARX, FLNA, DCX, LARGE, RELN, TUBA1, YWHA) genes that are known to have a role in neuronal migration were investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The expressions of 6 of the 7 genes were found to be significantly increased. These genes were ARX, FLNA, DCX, LARGE, RELN and YWHAE. This study proved that even at low levels, magnetic field may affect the development foetuses as a consequence of gene expression changes." {Credits 1}
