Hello, Hao,

You can use the Table Browser to get this relationship.

set for hg19:
group: Genes and Gene Predictions
track: refSeq Genes
identifiers: [paste list]
   NM_001130986
output format: selected fields from primary and related tables
[get output]

check name, chrom, chromStart, chromEnd or whatever you want

in Linked Tables section:
check kgXref  [Allow Selection From check Tables]

in hg19.kgXref:
check geneSymbol [get output]

result:

#hg19.refGene.name      hg19.refGene.chrom      hg19.refGene.txStart 
hg19.refGene.txEnd      hg19.kgXref.geneSymbol
NM_001130986    chr2    71693831        71913893        DYSF

best regards,

                        --b0b kuhn
