Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Some variants identified by multigene panel testing of DNA from blood present with low variant allele fraction (VAF), often a manifestation of clonal hematopoiesis. Research has shown that the proportion of variants with low VAF is especially high in TP53, the Li-Fraumeni syndrome gene. Based on the hypothesis that variants with low VAF are positively selected as drivers of clonal hematopoiesis, we...
