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. HGNC identifiers
  refer to records in the HGNC symbol database.

  description: The GenCC DB provides information pertaining to the validity of gene-disease
    relationships, with a current focus on Mendelian diseases. Curated gene-disease
    relationships are submitted by GenCC member organizations. The GenCC comprises
    organizations that currently provide online resources (e.g. ClinGen, DECIPHER,
    Genomics England PanelApp, OMIM, Orphanet, PanelApp Australia, TGMI’s G2P), as
    well as diagnostic laboratories that have committed to sharing their internal
    curated gene-level knowledge (e.g. Ambry, Illumina, Invitae, Myriad Women’s Health,
    Mass General Brigham Laboratory for Molecular Medicine).
