5G Radio-Frequency-Electromagnetic-Field Effects on the Human Sleep Electroencephalogram: A Randomized Controlled Study in CACNA1C Genotyped Volunteers
This randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study tested whether CACNA1C rs7304986 genotype modifies sleep EEG responses to 5G RF-EMF exposure. The authors report a genotype-by-exposure interaction, with 3.6 GHz exposure in T/C carriers associated with a faster NREM sleep spindle center frequency versus sham. The abstract also notes longer sleep latency in T/C compared with T/T carriers, and concludes that genetically susceptible groups may show differential physiological responses to 5G RF-EMF.
Key points
- Randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled design with pre-sleep 5G RF-EMF exposure.
- Participants were genotyped for CACNA1C rs7304986 (15 T/C and 19 T/T carriers).
- Two signals were tested: 3.6 GHz and 700 MHz, each applied for 30 minutes before sleep.
- High-density EEG and the FOOOF algorithm were used to quantify sleep spindle activity during NREM sleep.
- A significant interaction between RF-EMF exposure and CACNA1C genotype was reported.
- In T/C carriers, 3.6 GHz exposure was associated with faster spindle center frequency in central, parietal, and occipital regions compared with sham.
- T/C carriers showed longer sleep latency than T/T carriers in the reported findings.
- The authors interpret results as implicating LTCC involvement and call for sustained research on potential brain-health implications.
