Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDCellular stressors influence the development of clonal hematopoiesis (CH). We hypothesized that environmental, inflammatory, and genotoxic stresses drive the emergence of CH in lung transplant recipients.

We evaluated somatic variants using duplex error-corrected sequencing and germline...
