21 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), defined by the acquisition of somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells, occurs in 20% to 30% of individuals .60 years and most frequently affects epigenetic regulator genes (DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1). CH is associated with a higher overall mortality and an approximately 10-fold risk for the development of hematologic malignancies. Reduced overall survival (OS) in individuals with CH...
