HGNC (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee)

HGNC, the authority for human gene names, through the genenames.org REST API: resolve any gene symbol, alias, previous symbol or ID (HGNC, NCBI Gene, Ensembl, UniProt, RefSeq, MGI, RGD) to the current approved symbol, with ambiguous aliases listed rather than guessed; check up to 50 genes at once; and search genes by name, symbol pattern, cytoband or locus type. Records carry the approved name, aliases, previous symbols, locus type, location, gene groups and cross-references that join NCBI Gene, Ensembl, UniProt, OMIM and PubMed. HGNC data is CC0.

1Request
string

A human gene symbol, alias or previous symbol (`TP53`, `p53`, `HER2`, `SEPT7`; case-insensitive), an HGNC ID (`HGNC:11998`), NCBI Gene ID (`7157`), Ensembl gene ID (`ENSG00000141510`), UniProt accession (`P04637`), RefSeq transcript (`NM_000546.6`), or the MGI or RGD ID of a mouse or rat ortholog.

string

A genenames.org symbol report URL, e.g. `https://www.genenames.org/data/gene-symbol-report/#!/hgnc_id/HGNC:11998`. Exactly one of `gene` and `url`.
