NCBI refSeq nd HGNC communicated the following....
...there seems to be some confusion in the Xenbase "nif" record XB-GENEPAGE-876556: there is an unrelated gene that has also been published as "XNIF" (PMID 15294863/AY280863) which from BLATing the sequence maps to chr 6 and appears to be ctdspl, and so rather confusingly the CTDSPL synonym is listed in the real "nif" gene record. And PMID 2307698 which talks about the unrelated "NIF-1" and "NIF-2" has crept into the "nif" record and I think it should be removed.
Overall, this confusion from the various uses of nif* - added to the fact that "NIF" is an alias for several mammalian genes - makes me think "nif" is not an ideal symbol. It seems only one group (BG Szaro) have published this Xenopus gene as NIF/XNIF/nif.
After some discussion , it was decided changes for the "nif"[XB-GENEPAGE-876556]
SYMBOL: NEFF1 (found in Xenopus) NAME: neuronal intermediate filament family member 1 ALIAS: nif, Xnif
and "NEFLL" genes: SYMBOL: NEFF2 ( LOST IN FROGS) NAME: neuronal intermediate filament family member 2 ALIAS:
Xenbase actions:
1) removed 2 synonyms (Xnif and CTDSPL) from the "nif " gene page [XB-GENEPAGE-876556]
2) updated nomenclature to neff1, neuronal intermediate filament family member 1, with synonyms: nif
