 Advanced Gene Search
We have approved over 25,000 human gene symbols and names. Each symbol is unique and we ensure that each gene is only given one approved gene symbol. Search the HGNC database for your gene.
 Request a Gene Symbol - NEW online request form
Obtaining a gene symbol before publication will avoid any possible conflicts with existing symbols and will ensure that your gene is promptly recorded in our database and others. Any information that you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence. For bulk data submissions please email us at hgnc@genenames.org prior to submission.
 Hot Topic
We would like to hear your opinion on the latest issues in the world of human gene nomenclature.
 Gene Families and Groupings
We strongly encourage the use of a stem (or root) symbol as a basis for a hierarchical series that allows the easy identification of other related members in both database searches and the literature. Please contact us as soon as possible with new members of gene families, as some symbols may be reserved in our database.
