Name: Genes Driving Age - Related Blood Cell Mutations Uncovered by Sanger Institute
Duration: 5 min 47 s
Description: News article from the Sanger Institute: Scientists have discovered 17 additional genes that drive the abnormal overgrowth of mutated blood cells as we age. The findings, published today (14 May) in Nature Genetics, provide a more complete view of the genetic factors behind clonal haematopoiesis – process associated with ageing and linked to increased risks of blood cancers1.
