[Genome] knownGene to Gene name (Gene Symbol)

[Mathias Ehrich]

Dear UCSC team,

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I spent two days trying
figure this out -unsuccessfully. 

Is there an easy way to retrieve the gene names (e.g. ETV1) from the
known gene annotations (X87175), or refSeq annotations (NM_004956)? 

I found the refLink table, but I think that really only works the other
way around.

Thanks you very much for your help.

Best regards

Mathias
