Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), also referred to as aging-related clonal hematopoiesis, is defined as an asymptomatic clonal expansion of mutant mature hematopoietic cells in ≥4% of blood leukocytes. CHIP associates with advanced age and increased risk for hematological malignancy, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Loss-of-function somatic mutations in TET2 are frequent...
