Talk:Lists of human genes

message: Unless somebody is willing to write an article about BTK the gene, the BTK link should be de-link-ified, as it currently points to Dennis Rader a.k.a. BTK a.k.a. Bind Torture Kill - a serial killer, not a gene. N0YKG 02:55, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  BTK 

message: Yes, this is worse than I thought. There are way too many items in the list that link to pages with the initials of their names, but that have nothing to do with the genes themselves! Most are disambiguation pages, which makes things worse (trying to look on the lists there for an actual gene page, which actually doesn't exist in the first place!). This page needs an urgent reboot. Kreachure 23:58, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Kreachure - clearly, I agree. Want to start a new set of lists? Let me know. I'm up for the challenge. Mr.Bip 00:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notably sad list, that is. 

message: Does anybody object if I remove the entries that don't yet have Wikipedia entries? --Arcadian 14:03, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the entries that have only a redlink for a Wikipedia entry, taking it down from about 600 to about 200. However, I have not yet gone through each of the rest to confirm that it is refering to the gene and not to something else. (Assistance in this would of course be appreciated.) --Arcadian 22:40, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing items

message: Seems to us (the GeneCards team) that this (or a related) page would greatly benefit by linking to GeneCards  gene entries. For example, the link to the GeneCard for BTK is . (We've noticed that others have already placed links to GeneCards on some pages (e.g. see } and thought that it would be a good idea to have this done systematically for all human genes.) What do people think? If you agree, what would be the mechansim to make this happen? Thanks. Marilyn Safran 14:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a little concerned about the statement at the top of each GeneCards page: "This service is provided free to academic non-profit institutions. ALL other users require a Commercial License from XenneX, Inc. Unauthorized usage of this service is in breach of the terms and conditions of this web site, and may cause the user to incur fees for usage." Wikipedia does not limit its use to "academic non-profit institutions", and so adding these links into Wikipedia may be inappropriate. Since you are associated with GeneCards, would you mind clarifying? --Arcadian 15:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Interface to GeneCards

message: Because of the (at this time) ongoing AfD of this article, I have started a rigourous cleanup of the list, starting at the top of the list . As you look at the article now, the top of the list is already adjusted, the bottom is still the old list. Many internal links were fixed, external links were directed to genecards instead of HUGO (Genecards contains way more information). Most entries were corrected with regard to names, the notability of genes was explained where not provided and a few will be removed from the list as I continue. --Cpt.

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: This page should probably be moved to List of notable human genes, since it's human-specific per its WP:LEAD.  Thoughts? ju66l3r 17:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree, I've moved it. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 12:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move name? 

message: I just split up the article in several sections, listing the genes in groups of being notable for similar reasons. Apart from clarification, this also makes that people wanting to add their own favorite gene have to think twice before doing so. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 13:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split 

message: 1. SCN9A, mutation in which can cause to loss of pain perception. Such individuals won't feel any pain.
2. MAO-A (also known as Warrior gene), active copy with environmental influence (like childhood abuse) can lead to psychopathic tendencies  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inderonline1988 (talk • contribs) 20:51, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two genes that could be added 

message: What are the criteria for a gene to be listed here? A line has to be drawn somewhere because genes can be significant to different groups of people studying different things. Natureium (talk) 15:37, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
