[Genome] HGNC or HUGO Symbols

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello again Siddarth,

A colleague has pointed out that the names like MARCH1 and C10orf10 are 
indeed approved gene symbols in HUGO/HGNC.

If you look them up at http://www.genenames.org/ you will see entries 
for them:

MARCH1 = membrane-associated ring finger (C3HC4) 1
C10orf10 = chromosome 10 open reading frame 10
