Clonal hematopoiesis and nonhematologic disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Clonal expansions of mutated hematopoietic cells, termed clonal hematopoiesis, are common in aging humans. One expected consequence of mutation-associated clonal hematopoiesis is an increased risk of hematologic cancers, which has now been shown in several studies. However, the hematopoietic stem cells that acquire these somatic mutations also give rise to mutated immune effector cells, such as monocytes,...
