# Requesting a User-defined Endpoint to be included in Core Analysis

If your user-defined endpoint provides interesting new results not seen in the core GWAS analyses, you may wish to have it become part of the core GWAS analysis with each data freeze (*to note*: all core analysis results can be viewed on [PheWeb](/working-outside-the-sandbox/link-to-how-to-use-pheweb.md) and include useful cross-linking to other FinnGen and external results).

### Conditions that must be met before an endpoint can become a core endpoint

* it must be available in [userresults.finngen.fi](https://userresults.finngen.fi/). This is done by using Custom GWAS command line CLI.
* it should have < 90% case overlap with existing core endpoints. **Tip!** For a fast and easy check of the overlap percentage use the [Cohort Operations](/working-in-the-sandbox/which-tools-are-available/cohort-operations-tool-co/launch-custom-gwas-with-co.md) tool.
* it should provide novel genetic results
* it should be definable within the grammar used to specify FinnGen Endpoints

### **Guidelines for endpoint creation:**

* Endpoint should be created/modified by the user using [Atlas tool](/working-in-the-sandbox/which-tools-are-available/atlas.md) in Sandbox or by another appropriate method
* The newly created/modified endpoint should be run by user using [Custom GWAS tool](/working-in-the-sandbox/which-tools-are-available/untitled.md) in Sandbox or another appropriate method
* The newly created/modified endpoint request and link to Custom GWAS results need to be submitted via [online form](https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/114892/lomake.html) to Endpoint team. In cases where the online form is not sufficient you can also contact the Endpoint team by sending email to: <finngen-endpoints@helsinki.fi>.
