Why single SNP (rsid) belong to more than one Gene?

Question

[dasdevashishdas]

Dear all,

I wanted to know the reason why there is more than one gene specified for a single RSid (dbsnp)?

eg: For rs3827295

Gene: LINC01664 and CECR6

rs5751876

Gene : ADORA2A-AS1 + ADORA2A + SPECC1L-ADORA2A

rs35921388

Gene : GSTTP1 + GSTTP2 + LOC105372959

It's perfectly possible to have overlapping genes and/or alternative transcripts.

And/or alternate names or positions for the same gene. Often some of them are incorrect.
