Description

Mizuki Momoi and co-authors asked whether age related blood stem cell mutations worsen a lung artery disease caused by old clots, in work published in 2024. Gene sequencing covered more than two hundred patients. About one in five carried such mutations, and nearly half of patients in their eighties did.

Carriers had higher heart strain markers, needed home oxygen more often, and walked shorter distances after treatment. Fresh clots and repeat artery procedures were also more common in carriers. Gene activity and blood tests pointed to neutrophil traps as the link. The authors suggest the mutations push a clot friendly state that blunts treatment gains.
