Aims:
Aim 1: Employ a novel murine adoptive bone marrow transfer approach
to model clonal hematopoiesis induced by somatic mutations in TET2, DNMT3A, TP53 and
PPM1D.
Aim 2: Examine the consequences of simulated GCR and SPE on:
(1) hematologic clone expansion
(2) cardiovascular function
(3) leukemogenic/cancer endpoints.
