Historically, there is an unbreakable tie between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and ovarian cancer. Mosaic PPM1D mutations in blood were first identified in patients with breast and ovarian cancers (1). It was believed that the mosaic PPM1D mutation in blood was a novel form of the genetic predisposition for breast and ovarian cancers. It was only later that we understood that this was a form of CH enriched in ovarian cancer patients exposed to chemotherapy treatment. In this issue of the Journal, Weber-Lassalle and colleagues (2) analyzed blood samples collected from patients with ovarian cancer enrolled in the AGO-TR1 observational trial. The study consisted of 448 patients with ovarian cancer whose germline BRCA1 and 2 (gBRCA1/2) status was adjudicated. Covering 10 genes associated with CH (ASXL1, DNMT3A, GNAS, JAK2, PPM1D, SF3B1, SH2B3, SRSF2, TET2, and TP53), they detected CH in 17.6% of the patients. Not surprisingly, CH was associated with higher age at the blood draw and history of prior chemotherapy treatment. In addition, CH with PPM1D and TP53 mutations was almost exclusively identified in patients who received at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy. This is consistent with the preclinical findings that platinum chemotherapy promotes positive selection of CH with DNA damage pathway mutations, PPM1D and TP53 (3, 4).
