I retrieved gene cordinates from TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene using:

gene_info = genes(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)

But I found some of the genes, for example, PTPN20 (id: 26095) is hugely different from NCBI gene bank. It is error information or I am doing something wrong?

subset(gene_info, gene_id=='26095')

GRanges object with 1 range and 1 metadata column:
        seqnames            ranges strand |     gene_id
           <Rle>         <IRanges>  <Rle> | <character>
  26095    chr10 46550123-48827924      - |       26095

The gene coordinates I got from gene bank: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=26095

It looks like this gene was annotated in two places in hg19 build (http://uswest.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSG00000204179;r=10:46911396-47002488 look in other assemblies). This seems to have been resolved in hg38, where only one copy is annotated.

Adding on this, see hg19:
