### **What is a FinnGen bespoke analyses and when is it used**

FinnGen bespoke analyses are analyses where one or several FinnGen Partners want to conduct analyses using FinnGen data, but without participation of all the other FinnGen Partners and wishes not to share the analysis idea and results to all the other FinnGen Partners. Bespoke analyses are not part of Analysis Group work. FinnGen encourages open collaboration and bespoke analysis to be used only in situations where the results cannot be shared with other FinnGen Partners. Thus far, FinnGen has only a handful of ongoing bespoke analyses.
