Look for an hg38-aligned gene annotation dataset, if available. Failing that, you could perhaps do a two-way liftover and keep those annotations that map in both directions: https://genviz.org/module-01-intro/0001/06/02/liftoverTools/ and https://bedops.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ can be useful for relevant set operations.
