Hi Pini,

"Function" is the function determined by dbSNP at NCBI against the 
RefSeq Genes. The dbSNP function is displayed on the dbSNP item details 
page and is also in the table.

On the dbSNP item details page, the "UCSC's predicted function relative 
to selected gene tracks" is the function for the dbSNP item predicted by 
UCSC with respect to a selected gene prediction track. If you click on 
the "Go to SNPs (129) track controls" link you can select the tracks for 
which you want to see UCSC's predicted function.

The UCSC function predictions are currently generated on the fly and so, 
unfortunately, can't be downloaded. Our developers hope to generate 
tables containing this data at some point in the future but it is very 
uncertain if or when this will happen.

I would like mention that we released the new dbSNP 130 track on hg18 
yesterday in case you are interested.

Please don't hesitate to contact the mail list if you require further 
assistance.
