I am trying to annotate my Illumina data with more updated annotations than the manifest file from Illumina. I have thus tried the IlluminaHumanv3.db, but I get a lot of inconsistent results and are confused about what annotations to use.  For example: The probe ILMN_1736007 have no annotation using the illuminaHumanv3SYMBOL or illuminaHumanv3ENTREZID. However, using the reannotation it is annotated to A1BG with Entrez-ID 1, which is the same annotation as in the Illumina manifest file. Why is it not annotated using the illuminaHumanv3ENTREZID?

mget("ILMN_1736007",illuminaHumanv3PROBESEQUENCE)
#$ILMN_1736007
#[1] "GCAGAGCTGGACGCTGTGGAAATGGCTGGATTCCTCTGTGTTCTTTCCCA"

mget("ILMN_1736007",illuminaHumanv3SYMBOL)
#$ILMN_1736007
#[1] NA
mget("ILMN_1736007",illuminaHumanv3ENTREZID)
#$ILMN_1736007
#[1] NA
mget("ILMN_1736007",illuminaHumanv3SYMBOLREANNOTATED)
#$ILMN_1736007
#[1] "A1BG"
mget("ILMN_1736007",illuminaHumanv3ENTREZREANNOTATED)
#$ILMN_1736007
#[1] "1"
mget("ILMN_1736007",illuminaHumanv3PROBEQUALITY)
#$ILMN_1736007
#[1] "Perfect***"

Another issue is that the Entrez-ID is lost in the reannotation, but the symbol is retained. For example:

mget("ILMN_1814353",illuminaHumanv3SYMBOL)
#$ILMN_1814353
#[1] "ARGFXP2"
mget("ILMN_1814353",illuminaHumanv3ENTREZID)
#$ILMN_1814353
#[1] "503640"
mget("ILMN_1814353",illuminaHumanv3SYMBOLREANNOTATED)
#$ILMN_1814353
#[1] "ARGFXP2"
mget("ILMN_1814353",illuminaHumanv3ENTREZREANNOTATED)
#$ILMN_1814353
#[1] NA
mget("ILMN_1814353",illuminaHumanv3PROBEQUALITY)
#$ILMN_1814353
#[1] "Perfect"

Also, what is the difference between a Perfect and a Perfect**** probe?
