Europeans for Safe Connections reports that a team led by Dr Beatrice Golomb at the University of California San Diego is recruiting people who identify as having electromagnetic hypersensitivity for an exploratory genetic study. Participants do not need a confirmed diagnosis; enrolment involves a symptom survey and cheek-swab DNA sample, testing is free, and participants are promised access to their whole-genome data. The recruitment notice says the team will investigate possible genetic factors and mechanisms.

Note: Europeans for Safe Connections is a European umbrella organisation campaigning for stricter protection from electromagnetic fields. The participant-recruitment notice does not link a study registry entry or protocol.

"A research team led by Principal Investigator Dr. Beatrice Golomb of the Golomb Research Group at the University of California in San Diego is seeking participants for a genetic study investigating electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and its associated symptoms."

— Europeans for Safe Connections

"The study aims to explore why some people experience symptoms they associate with exposure to electromagnetic signals and to investigate potential genetic factors that may contribute to this medical condition."

— Europeans for Safe Connections

"All individuals who feel they suffer from this condition are welcome. Individuals do not need a confirmed diagnosis."

— Europeans for Safe Connections

"Study Participation Includes: EHS symptoms survey Cheek swab sample for DNA collection Testing is free You will get access to your whole genome data."
