MOTIVATION: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) are two biologically distinct sources of somatic mutations detectable in blood. While ctDNA captures tumor-intrinsic alterations, CHIP arises from age-related hematopoietic clones and is often considered background noise. Here, we conduct a large-scale, tumor-type-resolved analysis of over 9000 patients with CHIP...
