Fig. 1. Co-occurrence of LOY and CHIP in monocytes of ageing men.
A Shows the level of LOY (%) in each monocyte sample (y-axis) plotted against the age in years of the sampled men. The color (red/gray) of each dot indicates whether a pathogenic CHIP mutation was detected in the sample, while shape (triangle/circle) denotes if the sample was classified as having LOY or not. The gene names and variant allele frequency (VAF) of the CHIP mutations are labeled next to the sample in which CHIP was present. The boxplot in B displays the relationship between different levels of LOY (%, y-axis) and the number of genes in which CHIP was detected (x-axis).
