Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The genes table provides HGNC symbols reported from source (Ensembl/NCBI) gene records. Unfortunately, this is technically somewhat brittle, as those IDs can shift over time. It also means that if you're working with IDs (which can be nice for many reasons) you need to transform back into symbols before querying UTA.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add an hgnc_id column to the genes table.
Describe alternatives you've considered
