I was curious to know if there is anyone to get the MeSH values to be returned alongside the EFO values that we get from study.traitEfos in the API?

Unfortunately, the API of the Genetics Portal doesn’t have any disease related metadata, so the `traitEfos` object cannot be further resolved. However, you can extract this from the Platform API, which provides rich annotation on diseases including cross refereces to MeSH when available. [example here](https://api.platform.opentargets.org/api/v4/graphql/browser?operationName=assocs&query=query%20assocs%20%7B%0A%20%20disease%28efoId%3A%20%22EFO_0000612%22%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20id%0A%20%20%20%20name%0A%20%20%20%20dbXRefs%0A%20%20%7D%0A%7D%0A) I hope this helps.
