Hi team,

I am running the below code in the open target genetic’s graphql playground, and it gives a null output, it should give a list of studies for PCSK9 as a default gene in the platform, right?

```auto
query study {
  studiesForGene(geneId:"ENSG00000169174") {
    study {
      source
      pmid
      pubDate
      pubJournal
      pubTitle
      pubAuthor
      hasSumstats
      nInitial
      nReplication
      nCases
      traitCategory
      numAssocLoci
    }
  }
  }``
```

Hi, Welcome to the Open Targets Community portal. You are right, this is not an expected behaviour. This bug is most likely related to [Kamalika’s](https://community.opentargets.org/t/studiesandleadvariantsforgene-query-not-working/833/3) comment. We have already opened a [ticket](https://github.com/opentargets/issues/issues/2791) to track the issue.

We’ll let you know once the issue is fixed. However, at this point we cannot provide definitive timeline.

Best,  
Daniel
