This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the relationship between clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in a population of 7483 individuals aged 55-79. The analysis revealed that individuals with CHIP had significantly higher EAA compared to those without CHIP, with a mean difference of 2.84 years for Horvath1Age IEAA.

Key findings

  • CHIP individuals had higher EAA than no-CHIP individuals, with a mean difference of 2.84 years for Horvath1Age IEAA.
  • Larger clones were associated with higher EAA.
  • TET2-mutated CHIP showed larger effect sizes and more consistent associations with EAA than DNMT3A-mutated CHIP.
  • Higher EAA may modify morbidity and mortality risks in individuals with CHIP.

Why it matters

Understanding the association between CHIP and EAA could provide insights into the biological mechanisms of aging and potential prognostic indicators for morbidity and mortality in older adults.
