An asterisk (*) before an entry number indicates a gene.

A number symbol (#) before an entry number indicates that it is a descriptive entry, usually of a phenotype, and does not represent a unique locus. The reason for the use of the number symbol is given in the first paragraph of the entry. Discussion of any gene(s) related to the phenotype resides in another entry(ies) as described in the first paragraph.

A plus sign (+) before an entry number indicates that the entry contains the description of a gene of known sequence and a phenotype.

A percent sign (%) before an entry number indicates that the entry describes a confirmed mendelian phenotype or phenotypic locus for which the underlying molecular basis is not known.

No symbol before an entry number generally indicates a description of a phenotype for which the mendelian basis, although suspected, has not been clearly established or that the separateness of this phenotype from that in another entry is unclear.

A caret (^) before an entry number means the entry no longer exists because it was removed from the database or moved to another entry as indicated.

Where do you place an asterisk?

The most common reason to place an asterisk in a document is to indicate a footnote: a further explanation of a particular piece of the document that would not be in general fitting with the rest of the document (explanations or definitions of obscure terms are common footnotes).In the document itself, the asterisk is placed immediately after the item to which the footnote will later expand.Then, at the bottom of the pertinent page, and starting with an asterisk, add the footnote explanation.Asterisks are not the only symbols which indicate footnotes. When two or three footnotes appear in a single page, it is not uncommon to see the dagger (†) and double dagger (‡) along with the asterisk, especially in older documents.An alternative style of notation is to number references: using a superscripted or bracketed number in place of the asterisk, dagger, etc.
