Extracting subset of VCF file for list of genes

Question

[MAPK]

I have a list of 5000 genes (gene symbols). I also have vcf files separated per chromosome. What would be the easiest way to extract the subset of vcf for all these genes per chromosome?

One of many such threads on biostars: Extract Sub-Set Of Regions From Vcf File You would need positional information for this solution.
