The HGNC symbol is the one official short name for each human gene (ERBB2, not HER2 or NEU), so that datasets can be joined without guessing.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee approves a unique name and symbol for every known human gene (Wikipedia). Symbols change and aliases collide (HER2 is ERBB2; the symbol MLL became KMT2A), so every dataset should carry the stable HGNC ID (HGNC:3430) as well as the symbol, and gene lists from different years must be mapped before they are joined. OnCo's target records carry HGNC, Ensembl, UniProt and Entrez identifiers for this reason.
