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.

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from HGNC gene family should match this regular expression:
^hgnc\.genefamily:\d+$

Example CURIE

hgnc.genefamily:2029

Has Canonical (bioregistry.schema:0000016 )

hgnc.genegroup

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 3 mappings to external registries for this resource with 1 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE None:2029 is used to demonstrate the provides available for this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
