Hemoglobin Ernz (Hb Ernz) is a missense variant in β-globin caused by a Threonine to Asparagine substitution at the 123rd amino acid position and HBB c.371C > A in gene level. Hb Ernz has been classified as Uncertain Significance (VUS) by ACMG due to limited reports and the absence of any homozygote genotypes. In our study, we found eight cases of Hb Ernz by DNA sequencing of the β-globin gene during >20 years of...
