Association of Clonal Hematopoiesis with Incident, Late‐Onset, Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), defined by acquired driver mutations in hematopoietic stem cells, is associated with many inflammatory diseases of aging. We investigated whether CH and its subtypes, clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and mosaic chromosomal alteration (mCA), are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
