Can I trust NCBI? For instance this link which says TBX21 is an official gene name? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/30009

Yes, you can trust NCBI. Like I said in an earlier comment, HGNC provides the "official" gene symbols, and NCBI/EnsEMBL cross-referencing is reliable.

You have [already asked this question](https://bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/questions/16159/converting-gene-symbols-between-species) and it has been answered - with the exact same response. Why are you opening multiple threads instead of exploring more on your own?
