Somatic mutations and the hierarchy of hematopoiesis.

Abstract excerpt

Clonal disease is often regarded as almost synonymous with cancer. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that our bodies harbor numerous mutant clones that are not tumors, and mostly give rise to no disease at all. Here we discuss three somatic mutations arising within the hematopoietic system: BCR-ABL, characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia; mutations of the PIG-A gene, characteristic of paroxysmal...
