CHIP: A bone-deep risk for heart disease

A The New York Times feature story brings attention to NHLBI-funded researchers’ finding that a gene mutation called clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) showed a higher rate of heart disease. The research appeared in a paper published in The New England Journal of Medicine. People do not inherit the CHIP mutations, instead, they accumulate over time from the exposure to things that damage DNA.
