Clonal Hematopoiesis Defined by Somatic Mutations Infrequently Co-occurs With Mosaic Loss of the Y Chromosome in a Population-based Cohort
13 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
With aging, acquired genetic alterations accumulate in hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells. Positive selection may provide a growth advantage for clones carrying driver mutations, and subsequent clonal expansion is called clonal hematopoiesis.1 Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) is the most commonly acquired cytogenetic alteration in aging male individuals from the general population.2,3 mLOY associates with...
