Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an age-associated phenomenon characterized by clonal expansion of blood cells harboring somatic mutations in hematopoietic genes, including DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1. Clinical evidence suggests that CHIP is highly prevalent and associated with poor prognosis in solid-tumor patients. However, whether blood cells with CHIP mutations play a causal role in...
