Extended Data Fig. 2: Age distribution of CH by mutant gene, clone size, and sex.

a, Prevalence of CH in the cohort with advancing age. The blue line represents the smoothed model fitted to a generalized additive model with 95% confidence interval (CI; gray shadow). b, Prevalence of CH by age stratified by the top eight most frequently mutated genes. Colored lines represent the smoothed model fitted to a generalized additive model with 95% CI (colored shadows). Y-axis is log-scaled. c, Clone size, estimated by the variant allele fraction (VAF), increases with age. The blue line represents the smoothed model fitted to a generalized additive model and the shadow represents the 95% CI. d, Empirical cumulative distribution (ECD) of the age of individuals with CH stratified by sex. CH was observed one year earlier in females than in males (median 61 versus 62 years; P=1.6x10−4, two-sided pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum test).
