I also wanted to add to this that RefSeq is a curated set and each record will most likely have a HUGO gene symbol unless there is none assigned to the locus.

The geneName field in the refFlat table comes directly from the NCBI record for that ID. The contents of the geneName field are the result of whatever the submitter inserted into the record, so it may not necessarily be the hgnc gene symbol.

Is it the standard hgnc gene symbol?
