Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the expansion of blood stem cells and progeny after somatic mutation. CHIP associates with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD), with inflammation from macrophages a proposed common effector. However, mouse CHIP studies are discordant for clonal expansion and inflammation. Similarly, directionality of association between CHIP and CVD remains debated. We...
