Abstract: Cell phone radiation is one form of electromagnetic radiation that called microwaves and consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together through space at the speed of light. Smart phones become an important public instruments but form a health problem as there have been reports of plenty of health hazards, both mental and physical, in people of all age groups. The present study was to investigate the possible effects of mobile phone radiation on ATP2b2 gene that play an important role in calcium hemostasis and hematological parameters in mice. In this study twenty five male albino mice were used, They were divided into five groups, normal and the others exposed to the electromagnetic field (EMF) from mobile phone for different duration 1/2h, 1h, 2h, and 4h per day for three weeks. The results showed that significant difference in Hb, HCT, MCV, and MCHC, WBCs, PLT (P < 0.05) count and ionized calcium. While the mean value of RBCs and MCH did not show significant difference when compared to the normal with exposed group. The ATP2b2 gene was slightly affected in all exposed groups.
