Germline noncoding risk variants influence clonal hematopoiesis through altered hematopoietic enhancer activity.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a precursor condition characterized by the expansion of mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) clones that increases the risk of hematologic malignancies. Although genome-wide association studies have identified multiple non-coding loci associated...
