Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure syndrome. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shed light on the link between somatic mutations (SM) and the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in AA patients. However, the relationship between SM and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has not been extensively explored.

We performed sequencing at >4,000x depth of coverage for CHIP mutations in 6,986 postmenopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative at two timepoints approximately 15 years apart. Among 3,685 mutations detected at baseline (VAF ≥ 0.

We sought to evaluate relationships between CHIP with cardiometabolic diseases and incident outcomes in high-risk individuals.
Methods: CHIP genotyping was performed in 8469 individuals referred for cardiac catheterization at Duke University (CATHGEN study) to identify variants present at a variant allele fraction (VAF) ≥2%.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major driver of mortality and declining health worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Although dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and obesity are some well-known causes of CVD, the overlapping genetic pathways between other diseases and those affecting cardiovascular health have been overlooked.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and progressive cardiovascular disease. While potential links between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and cardiovascular diseases have been identified, the causal relationship between CH and PAH remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the causal effect of CH on the risk of PAH using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
