description: The HGNC (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee) provides an approved gene
  name and symbol (short-form abbreviation) for each known human gene. All approved
  symbols are stored in the HGNC database, and each symbol is unique. In addition,
  HGNC also provides a unique numerical ID to identify gene families, providing a
  display of curated hierarchical relationships between families.
