Abstract With aging, somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) can give rise to clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), a premalignant state associated with diverse age-related diseases. Here we report the largest multi-ancestry genome-wide analysis of CHIP to date (N = 1,018,305), including individuals of African (N = 85,978), Admixed American (N = 191,371), East Asian (N = 13,532), European (N = 694,015), and South Asian (N = 13,193) ancestry. Multi-ancestry meta-analyses identified 72 genome-wide significant loci, including 44 novel associations implicating genes such as AFF1 , ATF7IP , ATP8B4 , BCL2 , CEBPA , CYRIA , DNM2 , ELF1 , NKX2-3 , PIK3CB , PRDM16 , RPN1 , TERC , and TRIM4 . Notably, variants at MECOM and PHF20L1 showed opposite allelic effects between DNMT3A - and non- DNMT3A -driven CHIP, highlighting driver-specific germline influences. Implicated loci converge on pathways regulating telomere maintenance, cell-cycle control, hematopoietic transcription, DNA damage response and immune signaling. These findings support a model in which germline variation both expands the HSPC pool and biases clonal selection in a driver-dependent manner, providing a mechanistic basis for inter-individual heterogeneity in CHIP. Phenome-wide association analyses further linked CHIP to hematologic, neoplastic, and circulatory traits, with enrichment across hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell types. Together, this work expands the genomic and phenomic landscape of CHIP and reveals germline–somatic interactions that shape clonal evolution during aging.
