Abstract excerpt
Somatic mosaicism (SM), the presence of somatic mutations, is classified as clonal hematopoiesis (CH) when it occurs in hematopoietic cells at an age-related rate. CH is associated with risk for hematologic malignancies and cardiovascular disease, but most studies are predominately based on individuals of European ancestry. Using peripheral blood whole exome sequencing data from 125,748 individuals of diverse...
