Multi-ancestry analysis of 791K whole genomes reveals the genetic, geographic, and phenotypic correlates of somatic passenger mutations in blood
2026-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), an aging-related expansion of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) clones, is associated with hematologic malignancy, cardiovascular disease, and mortality. Most clonal expansions, however, occur in the absence of known driver mutations. Passenger mutations reveal positive selection in HSCs and provide a quantitative, driver-agnostic phenotype that increases statistical power over dichotomized...
