The link you provided has little relevance to this list.

Genes like HYDIN were really two genes; they were so similar(?) that they couldn't resolve them to two genes.

A more sophisticated analysis might involve , for instance, seeing what genes map to one location in hg19, but map to two locations in hg38.

You could "diff" the GTF files for the two builds to see if you can find the additional genes.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has the list of ~100 genes that have been added to the GRCh38 reference model (and not present in GRCh37) or knows how I can obtain them. Examples of such genes have been mentioned here:

Much appreciated,
