Mutations in genes that confer a selective advantage to hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) drive clonal hematopoiesis (CH). While some CH drivers have been identified, the compendium of all genes able to drive CH upon mutations in HSCs remains incomplete. Exploiting signals of positive selection in blood somatic mutations may be an effective way to identify CH driver genes, analogously to cancer. Using the tumor sample in blood/tumor pairs as reference, we identify blood somatic mutations across more than 12,000 donors from two large cancer genomics cohorts. The application of IntOGen, a driver discovery pipeline, to both cohorts, and more than 24,000 targeted sequenced samples yields a list of close to 70 genes with signals of positive selection in CH, available at http://www.intogen.org/ch. This approach recovers known CH genes, and discovers other candidates. Identifying the genetic drivers of clonal haematopoiesis (CH) has been challenging due to their low frequencies and a lack of adequate tools. Here, the authors use a reverse calling to detect blood somatic mutations and the IntOGen pipeline to identify CH drivers in large cancer genomics data sets based on signals of positive selection.
