Abstract excerpt
The accrual of somatic mutations is a byproduct of aging. When a clone bearing a somatic genetic alteration, conferring comparative competitive advantage, displays sufficient outgrowth to become detectable amongst an otherwise polyclonal background in the hematopoietic system, this is called clonal hematopoiesis (CH). Somatic genetic alterations observed in CH include point mutations in cancer related genes,...
