Clonal myelopoiesis in the UK Biobank cohort: ASXL1 mutations are strongly associated with smoking.

Abstract excerpt

We sought to determine the significance of myeloid clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in the UK Biobank cohort (n = 502,524, median age = 58 years). Utilizing SNP array (n = 486,941) and whole exome sequencing data (n = 49,956), we identified 1166 participants with myeloid CH, defined by myeloid-associated mosaic chromosome abnormalities (mCA) and/or likely somatic driver mutations in DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, JAK2, SRSF2, or...
