Hi Melissa,

It looks like all the genes in the list you provided do exist in hg19 
RefSeq Genes, except three. I looked these up genes up in NCBI and the 
records have been removed due to insufficient support for the transcript.
NM_203407 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_203407.1?report=genbank)
NM_173357 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_173357.2?report=genbank)
NM_014221 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_014221.3?report=genbank)

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, then yes you can 
get the alignments 'en masse' via our Table Browser.

Click on "Tables" on the blue bar on the top of the main page and make 
the following selections:
clade: Mammal
genome: Human
assembly: Feb. 2009 (GRCh37/hg19)
group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks
track: RefSeq Genes
table: refGene
region: genome (or if you only want to search chromosome X, select 
"position" &  enter: chrX)
identifiers (name/accessions): click 'paste list' or 'upload list' and 
provide your accessions or select your file to upload; click submit
output format: CDS FASTA alignment from multiple alignment
output file: if you would rather have the results saved to a file 
instead of displaying in the browser window, enter the name you would 
like the output file to have, otherwise, leave blank
file type returned: plain text

Click "get output". Select the formatting options you prefer and the 
organisms for which you'd like alignments; click "get output." Your 
results will be a list of the alignments at the locations of the genes 
in your list.

For more information about using the Table Browser see "Using the Table 
Browser" by scrolling down past the Table Browser form. It provides 
brief descriptions of the Table Browser controls. You can also see the 
"User's Guide" at http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTablesHelp.html.

I hope this is helpful. Please contact the mail list 
([email protected]) again if you have any further questions.
