Double-blind study of 34 participants finds 3.6 GHz 5G exposure modulates sleep spindle frequency — but only in people with specific CACNA1C gene variant. First study to show genetic susceptibility to 5G RF-EMF.

"3.6 GHz 5G RF-EMF modulates spindle center frequency during NREM sleep in a CACNA1C genotype-dependent manner."

— Sousouri et al.

"These findings implicate LTCC in the physiological response to RF-EMF and underscore the need for further research into 5G effects on brain health."
