This is the code I am using to extract paralogues for the AA792892 gene:

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("biomaRt")

library(biomaRt)

ensembl_mouse <- useMart("ensembl", 
                     dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl")

AA792892_paralogues <- getBM(attributes = c("external_gene_name",
                                  "mmusculus_paralog_associated_gene_name"), 
                     filters = "external_gene_name", 
                     values = "AA792892" , mart = ensembl_mouse) 

View(AA792892_paralogues)

The results show that there are 99 paralogues in total, but when looking at the Ensembl website, it says that there are 100 for this gene. This is happening for quite a few genes and I cant work out why.
