Dnmt3a -mutated clonal hematopoiesis promotes osteoporosis
25 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, occurring in close proximity to hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. Recurrent somatic mutations that lead to an expanded population of mutant blood cells is termed clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).
