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.Competing Interest StatementM-P.D. has received personal fees and reports minor equity interest in Dalcor Pharmaceuticals.
