    Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is linked to cerebrovascular and cardiometabolic diseases in aging populations.

  • 2

    TET2-CHIP shows the strongest associations with cerebrovascular outcomes, including ischemic stroke and hypertension.

  • 3

    Distinct CHIP subtypes exhibit marked heterogeneity in their effects on cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.

  • 4

    JAK2-CHIP is inversely associated with intracerebral hemorrhage and atrial fibrillation, while DNMT3A-CHIP shows positive associations with atrial fibrillation.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for subtype-specific risk assessment in understanding the clinical consequences of CHIP.
