A review of the new HGNC gene family resource [PDF]
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) approves unique gene symbols and names for human loci. As well as naming genomic loci, we manually curate genes into family sets based on shared characteristics such as function, homology or phenotype. Each HGNC gene family has its own dedicated gene family report on our website, www.genenames.org .

Genenames.org: the HGNC and VGNC resources in 2017 [PDF]
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. Currently the HGNC database contains almost 40 000 approved gene symbols, over 19 000 of which represent protein-coding genes. In addition to naming genomic loci we manually curate genes into family sets

The official unified nomenclature adopted by the HGNC calls for the use of the acronyms, CCN1–6, and discontinuation in the use of CYR61, CTGF, NOV and WISP 1–3 respectively [PDF]
An examination of the confusion generated around the use of different acronyms for CCN proteins has been performed by the editors of the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee upon the request of the International CCN Society Scientific Committee. After careful consideration of the various arguments, and after polling the community of researchers who have ...

The HGNC Database in 2008: a resource for the human genome [PDF]
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) aims to assign a unique and ideally meaningful name and symbol to every human gene. The HGNC database currently comprises over 24 000 public records containing approved human gene nomenclature and associated gene information.

Genenames.org: the HGNC resources in 2013 [PDF]
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee situated at the European Bioinformatics Institute assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. Since 2011, the data within our database has expanded largely owing to an increase in naming pseudogenes and non-coding RNA genes, and we now have >33,500 approved symbols.

HGNC: promoting standardized gene names for 40 years
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC, www.genenames.org), working closely with authors, journals, annotating groups and other nomenclature committees, has been responsible for assigning approved human gene names for the last 40 years. While unique IDs are undoubtedly the most unambiguous way to identify genes, they are not practical for many ...

Cell modeling and rescue of a novel noncoding genetic cause of glycogen storage disease IX [PDF]
Purpose: Delayed diagnosis of Mendelian disease prevents early therapeutic intervention that could improve symptoms and prognosis. One major contributing challenge is functional interpretation of noncoding variants that alter splicing.

Correction to: The official unified nomenclature adopted by the HGNC calls for the use of the acronyms, CCN1–6, and discontinuation in the use of CYR61, CTGF, NOV and WISP 1–3 respectively [PDF]
The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. In the Abstract section, a production query number (Q2) was inadvertently inserted within the new official gene names of the CCN proteins.
