SNP to gene

Question

[theoharis]

What is the smallest single database I can download to enable mapping Gene (or non-gene locus) from a SNP ie rs1205 > CRP

[Ram]

What are the various databases you've tried? Why do you need the database to be small? In addition to rs ID and HGNC Gene Symbol, what other attributes do you need in this database?
