The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) has assigned unique gene symbols and names to over 37,000 human loci, of which around 19,000 are protein coding. genenames.org is a curated online repository of HGNC-approved gene nomenclature and associated resources including links to genomic, proteomic and phenotypic information, as well as dedicated gene family pages.
