The Evolution of Polyclonal Competition in Aging Hematopoiesis

Nathaniel V. Mon Père, Francesco Terenzi, Benjamin Werner

Abstract Clonal hematopoiesis (CH)—the expansion of genetic variants in blood—is a prime example of somatic evolution. Although it often precedes malignant transformation, many aspects of this process remain unknown. We show that a model of polyclonal competition, in which selectively advantaged clones continually occur and compete, explains observed CH dynamics throughout human life. We quantify the fitness distribution and occurrence rate of clonal expansions using either variant trajectories or hematopoietic ste …
