What the proposed field says, and why it reads that way. A carrier with no result of its own and one identified variant standing above it. The scheme is set out in full in the proposal. No registry issues this field today: it is computed from this cat's record at each build, so it changes by itself the day a laboratory result is entered, and nothing here has to be reissued.

What the register holds

Evidence grade

Line-traced — descent from a named founder is stated by the source

Variant

none identified for this cat

Line

Roddifer, by descent

On what footing

the founder of the Roddifer line

The trace

Nothing stands above this cat, because this cat is where the line begins. A trace runs upwards, from an animal through its parents to the head of a line, and this animal is that head. Its own parents are not recorded. 7 records stand below it in the register, 2 of them its own offspring.

Recorded ancestry, 4 generations

What this page does not establish

This cat has never been tested. Everything above rests on documents and descent. Descent from a line is not a genotype. A cat can stand in a line and carry nothing, and a blue eye can be caused by white, by colourpoint or by low iris pigment with no PAX3 variant involved.

This is not a health certificate. It says nothing about hearing, and nothing about whether this cat should be bred from. Deafness in this trait is associated with carrying two different variants at once, which no pedigree can show and only a test can.

What would change this page

This directory is built from what people send it. For this cat it does not hold:

• a test result for this cat, which is the only thing that settles which variant, if any, it carries
• a photograph, which settles an eye colour and the extent of any white far better than a code does
• a registry or club issued pedigree reaching further back, because the chain held here stops before a founder

Sending a pedigree, a photograph or a test result. A pedigree has to be one a registry or club issued, because that is the only document that settles a parent; a breeder chart is welcome but is recorded at a lower grade and cannot draw a descent. The contact page says what to send and how. A correction is as welcome as an addition: where this page is wrong about your cat, the record is changed and the source you supply is named on it.
