Abstract excerpt
This review brings some new insights on erythrocytosis of genetic origin related to problems of oxygen delivery by hemoglobin (Hb). A few molecular mechanisms are individualized among the about 100 Hb variants that cause compensatory erythrocytosis. The most frequently observed structural modifications are localized in the alpha1beta2 interface, or at the C-terminal. They impair formation of a stable T state....
