Effect of long-term exposure to mobile phone radiation on alpha-Int1 gene sequence of Candida albicans.
This in vitro study evaluated whether long-term 900 MHz radiation exposure induces mutations in the alpha-Int1 gene of Candida albicans. Yeast samples were exposed for 10 to 490 hours at 4°C and compared with unexposed controls. Sequencing of the PCR-amplified alpha-Int1 fragment found no mutations in exposed samples under these conditions.
Key points
- The study tested mutagenic effects of 900 MHz radiation on Candida albicans alpha-Int1 gene sequence.
- Five exposure durations were used: 10, 70, 210, 350, and 490 hours.
- PCR produced a ~441 bp band in all samples, and sequencing confirmed alpha-Int1 identity.
- No mutations were observed in the alpha-Int1 gene in exposed samples compared with controls.
- The experiment was conducted at 4°C using a fixed radiation magnitude (dosimetry not detailed in the abstract).
