Hello Marek,

You can use the table hg18.kgXref to connect data from the knownGene 
table to names that sound more familiar to you.

Use the Table Browser, with the setting "output" = "selected fields from 
primary and related tables".  Then check the box next to hg18.kgXref and 
click "Allow selection from checked tables".  Now you can choose the 
columns you are interested in from hg18.knownGene along with columns in 
hg18.kgXref (such as refSeq ID or Gene Symbol).

I hope this information is helpful to you.  Please don't hesitate to 
contact us again if you require further assistance.
