Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the extreme outcomes of age-related clonal hematopoiesis (ARCH)1. With aging, mutations accumulate in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs)2,3. Based on the estimated number of HSPCs (~50,000) in the human body and the number of somatic mutations in adult single cells (~1000)4, it is predicted that every ~100 nucleotides, a somatic mutation will occur at a low variant allele frequency (VAF).
