Understanding Clonal Hematopoiesis: Blood Mutations Linked to Cancer, Heart Disease, Inflammation & More

As we age, our blood cells naturally develop mutations. With new sequencing technology, we can now identify very rare and specific mutations in human blood more easily and precisely than ever before. It’s like we now have a path to find the needle in a haystack. Researchers have discovered that some of these age-related blood mutations, collectively known as clonal hematopoiesis, may be linked to…
