stated above, the correct treatment of the inflammatory state is of fundamental importance in the therapy of
these patients to restore the correct hematopoiesis and physiological homeostasis. The mutations in HSC
due to increased stressor-specific fitness can be neutral under homeostasis. Nonetheless, their imposed
increased self-renewal under immune attack, inflammation of genotoxic stress, can lead to the expansion of
the mutated clone. Finally, in inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, somatic mutations may result in
near normalization of the stem cell fitness primarily due to the correction of the underlying HSC defect,
leading to partial restoration of normal hematopoiesis.
