Home | HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee
The HGNC is a resource for approved human gene nomenclature containing ~42000 gene symbols and names and 1300+ gene families and sets
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) is responsible for approving unique symbols and names for human loci, including protein coding genes, ncRNA genes, and pseudogenes, to allow unambiguous scientific communication. The genenames.org website serves as the official platform for the HGNC, providing comprehensive resources and tools for gene nomenclature and related information.
