The emerging role of clonal haematopoiesis in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

The increased sensitivity of novel DNA sequencing techniques has made it possible to identify somatic mutations in small circulating clones of haematopoietic stem cells. When the mutation affects a 'driver' gene, the mutant clone gains a competitive advantage and has the potential to expand over time, a phenomenon referred to as clonal haematopoiesis (CH), which is emerging as a new risk factor for various...
