If you just enter 'Tuberculosis' in the search box, you get results. Did you try to enter ' Mycobacterium Tuberculosis' ? I think Mycobacterium Tuberculosis does not qualify as being a 'trait' - rather it is the bacterium responsible for the trait Tuberculosis.

Quoting from the help page:

What can I type into the search bar? You can type any text you wish into the search bar. This will then return any exact string matches within a number of data fields in the Catalog, including title, author, journal, reported trait, mapped (ontology) trait, mapped trait’s synonyms, mapped trait’s parents, sample descriptions, genes and SNPs.

What could be other terms other then Tuberculosis to retrieve data related to Tuberculosis in GWAS Catalog?
