Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations are an unavoidable consequence of aging tissues. Even though most mutations are functionally silent, some may affect genes critical to proper tissue self-renewal and differentiation, resulting in the outgrowth of affected cells, also known as clonal expansion. In hematopoietic tissue such clonal dominance is known as clonal hematopoiesis (CH). Sporadic CH is frequent in aging and affects over...
