ABSTRACT
We provide evidence for a linear correlation between the frequency of clonal haematopoiesis and COVID-19 mortality rate. We discuss the mechanistic explanations for this association mediated by a pathological inflammatory response. Our hypothesis can be tested in COVID-19-infected patients and eventually lead to new approaches to risk stratification and therapy.
