    Evaluation of clonal hematopoiesis and mosaic loss of Y chromosome in cardiovascular risk: An analysis in prospective studies

    Sami Fawaz, Severine Marti ... Thierry Couffinhal
    If CHIP and mLOY do not significantly contribute to inflammation, atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction risk independently, CHIP may increase the risk of MI in men who do not carry mLOY.
