Hidden mutations may drive blood clots in older adults

First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study checked 150 adults over 50 with a history of venous thromboembolism (blood clots) for certain genetic mutations in their blood cells. The goal was to see if these mutations, known as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), are common in this group. Researchers used DNA samples from a biobank to look for changes in specific genes. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it aims to gather knowledge about possible links between CHIP and blood clots.
