Access results

According to the FinnGen consortium agreement, FinnGen results are subjected to one year embargo and, after that, can be made available to the larger scientific community. Data releases are done twice a year. The results can be browsed with the web browser and summary statistics data can be downloaded from Google cloud storage free of charge. The latest release is from May 2021. Please follow the instructions below to access it.

Latest data release:

Total sample size: ​218,792

Total number of variants analyzed: 16,962,023 variants

Number of disease endpoints (phenotypes) available: ​2,803 endpoints

Data released to the partners: Q2 2020

Public data release: May 11 2021

Thorough documentation is available here.

 

Please note that the allele frequency column provides the human reference genome alternative allele (not minor allele) frequency. All effect sizes and allele frequencies are reported in terms of alternate allele.

 

How to access the summary statistics:

  1. Fill this online form to gain access to Finngen GWAS summary statistics. 
  2. Instructions on how to download summary statistics are sent to you by e-mail.
  3. Download the data 

 

Please remember to acknowledge the FinnGen study when using these results in publications.

You can use the following text:

“We want to acknowledge the participants and investigators of the FinnGen study”

 

Browsing the results: 

The web browser r5.finngen.fi contains all FinnGen GWAS results from release 5 and provides you with three options:

  1. Search for the GWAS result of a variant, phenotype or gene.

  2. Explore the loss-of-function burden (LoF) for gene-phenotypes combinations.

  3. Find a particular phenotype/endpoint.

 

Risteys

Risteys tool (Risteys = intersection in Finnish) allows browsing of the FinnGen data at the phenotype level, including endpoint definitions, statistics about number of individuals, gender distribution, and longitudinal relationships. For this data release, please visit: r5.risteys.finngen.fi.

 

Individual level data

In case you are interested in accessing individual level biobank samples and data or recontacting Finnish biobank participants, please visit the Fingenious portal hosted by the Finnish Biobank Cooperative FINBB for more information.
