Cancer survivors are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to the general population. Here, we evaluated the impact of somatic mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) on death of CVD causes, coronary artery disease (CAD) causes, from cancer, and of any cause in patients with a cancer diagnosis within the UK Biobank (n=48 919). mCAs were derived from DNA genotyping array intensity data and long-range chromosomal phase inference from participants. Overall, 10 070 individuals (20.6%) carried [≥]1 mCA clone. In adjusted analyses, mCA was associated with an increased risk of death of CAD causes (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-1.71, P=0.006), from cancer (HR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.00-1.11, P=0.041), and death of any cause (HR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02-1.12, P=0.005). Among cancer survivors, carriers of any mCA are at an increased risk of death of CAD causes and of any cause as compared to non-carriers.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
