Get studies related to triple-negative breast cancer:

library(gwasrapidd)
studies <- get_studies(efo_trait = 'triple-negative breast cancer')
studies@studies[1:4]

Find associated variants with study GCST002305:

variants <- get_variants(study_id = 'GCST002305')
variants@variants[c('variant_id', 'functional_class')]
