Abstract excerpt
Clonal haematopoiesis (CH) is a phenomenon whereby somatic mutations confer a fitness advantage to haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and thus facilitate their aberrant clonal expansion. These mutations are carried into progeny leucocytes leading to a situation whereby a substantial fraction of an individual's blood cells originate from the HSPC mutant clone. Although this condition rarely...
