Is there official nomenclature for human genes?
The Human Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) is part of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO), and has established official, unique nomenclature for human genes. If a gene lacks official nomenclature, the research community is encouraged to use the Nomenclature Committee web
form to submit a proposed gene symbol and name. Guidelines for naming are provided.
