Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Somatic mutations of the epigenetic regulators DNMT3A and TET2 causing clonal expansion of haematopoietic cells (clonal haematopoiesis; CH) were shown to be associated with poor prognosis in chronic ischaemic heart failure (CHF). The aim of our analysis was to define a threshold of variant allele frequency (VAF) for the prognostic significance of CH in CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analysed bone marrow and...
