The expansion of cells with TET2 mutations within the blood is associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality, development of leukemia and cardiovascular disease. Here authors show IL1 promotes the clonal expansion TET2 knockout cells, enhancing their self-renewal, promoting their myeloid bias and impairing an IL1 driven loss of methylation at lymphoid and erythroid regulatory elements.
