get_gene
Pack: hgnc · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hgnc/mcp
Exact lookup of an approved human gene by its official HGNC symbol — returns the full authoritative record: approved name, locus type, chromosomal location, alias/previous symbols, gene groups, and cross-references (Entrez, Ensembl, UniProt, OMIM, RefSeq, UCSC, CCDS). Use search_genes first if you only have a name fragment or aren’t sure of the exact symbol. Keyless.
Parameters

|---|---|---|---|
symbol | string | yes | Official HGNC gene symbol, e.g. “BRCA1”, “TP53”, “EGFR”. |
