Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) describes an expansion of
hematopoietic stem cells that harbor somatic mutations1-5 without an underlying
hematologic malignancy or definitive morphologic evidence of dysplasia. 6 CHIP can evolve
to overt neoplasia, with a progression rate of 0.5% to 1.0% per year. 2, 3 CHIP was first
identified through genomic profiling of peripheral blood from healthy individuals. 1-5 Its
