Hello Richard,
That's normal. You'll see many genes that are annotated at multiple locations in the genome. Please see the details page for the UCSC Genes page for more information about this: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?c=chr18&g=knownGene I hope this information is helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you require further assistance.
