## Description

=> https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/issues/564 From GitHub

The 'Fetch Trait Info' query returns detailed information for transcript expression traits, but not for traits from the 'Publish' database.

### Describe the solution you'd like

For example, downloading the data as CSV via the web interface includes the following header information:

```

Record ID,10620
Symbol,WMZTrgtQuadTime
Description,"Central nervous system, behavior, learning and memory: Morris water maze search-time preference, amount of time spent in the trained quadrant of the pool minus mean time in the alternative quadrants [seconds]"

```

Whereas via the API, only information on pre-computed QTL mapping is returned:

```

       additive   id      locus              lrs
10620 4.7790005 1382 rs32197605 9.39579775800466

```

It would be great to be able to access trait names and descriptions programatically as is already possible for transcript expression traits.
