hgnc-symb — HL7 International OID Registry
The HGNC gene table carries the GENE ID, gene symbol and full gene name. The GENE ID is specific to the species. The gene symbol and name will be shared by all species with the same gene. The HGNC-symb table carries only human genes. The code for this coding system is the HGNC gene code, the "name" or print string is the HGNC gene symbol. More than 28,000 human gene symbols and names have been assigned so far, but some human genes lack an HCGN code and symbol. These are mostly non protein coding genes.
