Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) represents clonal expansion of mutated hematopoietic stem cells detectable in the peripheral blood or bone marrow through next generation sequencing. The current prevailing model posits that CH mutations detected in the peripheral blood mirror bone marrow mutations with clones widely disseminated across hematopoietic compartments. We sought to test the hypothesis that all clones are disseminated throughout hematopoietic tissues by comparing CH in hip versus peripheral blood specimens collected at the time of hip replacement surgery...
