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.HUGO 基因命名委员会为每一已知的人类基因提供经过批准的基因名称和符号（简写缩略形式）。所有经过批准的符号均存储在 HGNC 数据库中，且每个符号都具有唯一性。此外，HGNC 还提供唯一的数字标识符以识别基因家族，从而展示家族之间经过精心策划的层级关系。
