Investigate API mapped gene kb range
User query: Example API search: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/rest/api/singleNucleotidePolymorphisms/rs340630
rs340630 - mapped gene shows in UI as AFF1 https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/variants/rs340630
According to our FAQ: The annotation available on our online search interface includes any Ensembl genes in which a SNP maps, or the closest upstream and downstream gene within 50kb. More detailed mapping information is available through our REST API including all Ensembl and RefSeq genes mapping within 50kb upstream and downstream of each GWAS Catalog variant.
From this, I would expect genes to show in the API response up to 50kb distance away. However, multiple genes are returned in the API response, with 'distance' up to 122,860 (KLHL8).
Please investigate what the returned range of mapped genes is for our API, in terms of distance.
