Redundancy in TCGA data

[dsmarcoantonio]

maf file in TCGA have redundancy on most genes (See below a example). Can anyone help me in this issue? This is not only in mutation annotation format files but also in RNA-seq to. I don't know what this mean.
Why the same gene is replicated by rows???

Ex:
A4GNT 51146 broad.mit.edu 37 3 137843364 137843364 + Silent SNP T C C TCGA-CJ-4882-01A-02D-1429-08 TCGA-CJ-4882-11A-01D-1429-08 Somatic Phase_I Capture Illumina GAIIx
A4GNT 51146 broad.mit.edu 37 3 137843364 137843364 + Silent SNP T C C TCGA-CJ-4882-01A-02D-1429-08 TCGA-CJ-4882-11A-01D-1429-08 Somatic Phase_I Capture Illumina GAIIx
A4GNT 51146 broad.mit.edu 37 3 137843364 137843364 + Silent SNP T C C TCGA-CJ-4882-01A-02D-1429-08 TCGA-CJ-4882-11A-01D-1429-08 Somatic Phase_I Capture Illumina GAIIx
A4GNT 51146 broad.mit.edu 37 3 137843364 137843364 + Silent SNP T C C TCGA-CJ-4882-01A-02D-1429-08 TCGA-CJ-4882-11A-01D-1429-08 Somatic Phase_I Capture Illumina GAIIx

Thanks a lot

There's multiple version of KIRC mafs in various directories.
I'm not sure which one is gospel and which ones are apocryphal.
