Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis of indetermined potential (CHIP) is increasingly common with age and identified in more than 1 in 10 healthy individuals at the age of 70. Mutations in epigenetic and splicing factors are recurrent genetic events in CHIP, and experimental data suggest that microbial and inflammatory factors may contribute to the selective expansion of hematopoietic stem cells carrying these mutations.
