List of terms related to List of human genes


This list describes some of the most notable genes present in the human genome.

Note: this does not attempt to be an exhausive list of genes, of which there are tens of thousands for humans alone: this is intended to be a list of genes which are particularly notable in scientific research or in their role in relation to disease, or have featured in a recent significant research paper or news story.
