George Smoot were able to measure minute variations, or 'anisotropies', in the background radiation that are the faint whispers left behind by developing clusters in the expanding universe.

This is a an interesting result and it will be interesting to see how these anisotropies correlated with the CMB anisotropies.

-
These anisotropies with the SZ shadows and polarizations are, as the UT post here by Jean Tate indicates, weak correlations to these much earlier processes in the universe.
-
The polarization of anisotropies and inverse Compton scattering signatures in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect indicate stochastic fluctuations associated with inflation.
-
Planck satellite measurements will be used to produce the best ever maps of anisotropies in the CMB radiation field.
-
These anisotropies are largely due to a quantum fluctuation, such as the scalar field of inflation inflaton, and we would not expect statistics which violated this, such as significant non-Gaussian distributions.
Seven-Year WMAP Results: No, They're NOT Anomalies | Universe Today 2010

In the Seven-Year WMAP papers for example, WMAP's observations of CMB anisotropies were combined with observations of BAO to constrain dark energy.
