<br>
The method 'fetch_by_display_label' will return the gene matching a particular gene symbol, excluding any gene symbols.<br>

<div id="">When using the $geneAdaptor->fetch_all_by_external_name($name,'HGNC') method I'm getting all synonym matches as well so it's returning several ensembl stable IDs for unrelated genes. E.g. searching FLG (Filaggrin, ENSG00000143631) also returns FGFR1
(ENSG00000077782). The order they are returned also varies with different versions of the API.</div>

</div>
<div id="">How can I avoid hitting synonyms or is there a more reliable way to get the correct ensembl stable ID given an HGNC gene name?</div>
