Inherited Mutations Shape Somatic Evolution and Cancer Risk
Major Finding: Germline variants increase clonal hematopoiesis by influencing somatic mutation patterns, thereby elevating blood cancer risk.Concept: Cancer risk reflects the interplay between inherited genetics and somatic mutation–driven clonal evolution in normal tissues.Impact: Germline–somatic interactions shape cancer risk trajectories, uncovering targets for personalized prevention and screening.
