ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a phenomenon that characterizes individuals with somatic mutations that are related to hematologic malignancy but without hematologic abnormalities. Presence of CHIP is associated with the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease through the activation of the interleukin 6 (IL-6) pathway; however, its role on unfavorable functional outcomes in different etiologies of ischemic stroke remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between CHIP-related gene mutations and unfavorable functional outcomes of ischemic stroke with different etiologies.METHODS:
We prospectively studied a cohort of 3396 stroke patients with identified etiologies, and identified CHIP and the presence of the IL6R variant (IL6R p.Asp358Ala) by whole-genome sequencing. The IL6R p.Asp358Ala coding mutation was used as a genetic inhibition for IL-6 signaling. The primary outcome was unfavorable functional outcome [(Modified Rankin Scale), mRS 2-6] at 3 months.RESULTS:
Of the 3396 patients, 110 (3.2%) were CHIP carriers and the median age was 62 years (IQR, 54.0-69.0). The CHIP increased the risk of unfavorable functional outcome among patients with hyper-inflammation status of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) > median levels in patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.00-5.98, p = 0.049, pinteraction = 0.01). Presence of IL6R variant (IL6R p.Asp358Ala) could attenuate the risk of unfavorable functional outcome only in patients with CHIP (OR 0.30, 95%CI 0.12-0.76, p = 0.01, pinteraction = 0.02), and especially in LAA patients with CHIP (OR 0.1, 95%CI 0.02-0.42, p = 0.002; pinteraction = 0.001).CONCLUSION:
CHIP is associated with unfavorable functional outcomes in patients with LAA stroke and hyper-inflammation. Genetic IL-6 signaling inhibition might attenuate the risk of unfavorable functional outcomes in CHIP carriers, especially in LAA stroke patients.Palavras-chave
