Marcus
Canadian Sphynx · line: DBE-CEL Sphynx (C5) · both eyes blue, put down to a DBE variant or its line · Identified from descendants, never genotyped
Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161p. A carrier of a variant with no published allele, on no named line. This is the group bare 161 exists for. The proposal is set out in full here, and no registry issues this field today: it is computed from the record at each build and is not part of any registration.
How this cat is connected to the trait
No recorded parent link joins this cat to a founder or to a tested animal. What the record rests on instead is the line recorded on it, DBE-CEL Sphynx (C5), which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk.

What the pedigree implies
On the path above an obligate pair. Above MirMagnificent Y*Sofia/WC
This is computed from the recorded parentage each time this site is built and is not typed into the register. It is a deduction from the trait being dominant, not a statement by any source, and it is not the same thing as the record's own status field. Only a laboratory settles it for an individual. The full list is on latent lines.
What is flagged on this tree
MARCUS. The one animal standing in three of the four Sphynx pedigrees in this register, and he is a white cat with blue eyes. He is on the Vassilina Ritta certificate as the sire of Assilina Baron; he is on the MirMagnificent Y*Sofia certificate three times, as the sire of Mirmagnificent Zeus and of Mirmagnificent Justin; and he reaches the Sniper certificate through Zeus, who is coded SPH w 61 as well. The odd-eyed and blue-eyed Sphynx this survey holds are linebred on him. Dominant white accounts for what they show and no genotype is held on any of them
MARCUS. Variant taken over high white, on a ruling and not on a test. This cat carries dominant white, a van, harlequin or bicolour figure, or a point figure, any of which leaves enough unpigmented iris to account for a blue eye without PAX3. It also carries a variant or stands in a DBE line, and the holder ruled on 31 August 2026 that the variant is taken as the cause in that situation. The alternative is not closed and only a genotype closes it. A photograph is better evidence of extent than a code, so where one has been read the phenotype note should be preferred to this flag. Recorded so the ruling is visible on every animal it touches and can be reversed as a set. S_VARIANT_OVER_WHITE
A flag is not an error. It marks a place where two sources say different things, or where an attribution cannot be made on the evidence held.

This directory is a working aid compiled from published charts, registry documents and breeder statements. It is not a register and it has no standing of any kind. The grade attaches to the animal, not to the line: a cat whose ancestor was genotyped is line-traced, not genotyped.
