BESTish: A Diffusion-Approximation Framework for Inferring Selection and Mutation in Clonal Hematopoiesis
2026-01-29
Abstract excerpt
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) arises when hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) gain a fitness advantage from somatic mutations and expand, resulting in an increase in variant allele frequency (VAF) over time. To analyze CH trajectories, we develop a state-dependent stochastic model of wild-type and mutant HSCs, in which an environmental parameter α ∈ [0, 1] regulates death rates and interpolates between homeostatic (Moran...
