Comments: Hb Chesapeake displays high oxygen affinity and presents with erythrocytosis in heterozygous individuals. It affects the amino acids involved in the α1-β2 chains’ contact, and impairs the normal rotational transition from the deoxygenated low-affinity state to the oxygenated high-affinity state, tending to lock the hemoglobin into the high-affinity relaxed state. It has been described in

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
