An analysis of host genetics (HLA) and the expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) among mobile phone users

It is important to determine whether the widespread use of mobile phones and its electromagnetic radiation (EMR) affects or alters any human physiological response. HSP70, one of the stress response protein marker, is targeted in the present study. The rationale of this study is to explore the expression pattern of HSP70 and HLA-DR (class II immune response gene) frequency among frequent users of mobile phones.
