What is the relationship between abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and ASXL1 mutations regarding genetic predisposition or risk factors?
ASXL1 mutations in clonal hematopoiesis significantly increase the risk of developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm, primarily through activation of inflammatory pathways. Observational studies support strong associations but not causality, highlighting the need for further research.
