Clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the acquisition of somatic mutations in leukaemia-associated genes in haematopoietic progenitors with age. It increases the risk of haematological malignancy (HM), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality mediated by CHIP-associated inflammation, with larger clones posing higher risks. Statins have been found to reduce the risk of progression from myelodysplastic syndrome to acute myeloid leukaemia and have also shown efficacy in vitro...
