Hemoglobin Chico is a rare
hemoglobinopathy
characterized by low oxygen affinity and a right-shifted oxygen dissociation curve. Detailed clinical evaluations of affected individuals have not been previously reported.

As a young boy with asthma, he had the unusual finding of growth delay and digital
