High-frequency electromagnetic field aka ionizing radiation (X-ray, gamma) is well known to be genotoxic because it can break molecular bonds. The question is how non-ionizing radiation can affect molecular structure, if not by heating. I don't think there is a well-understood mechanism of such effect.

Consider secondary effects like RF causing overproduction of reactive-oxygen-species (free radicals) leading to damage in exposed cells. Its well documented now. If you care to look.
