What the proposed field says, and why it reads that way. A carrier of a variant with no published allele, on a line this proposal gives a suffix to. 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
- Lineage genotyped — not tested. THE VARIANT IS FIXED BY A DNA GENOTYPE IN A PARENT OR AN OFFSPRING, and only one variant sits in the ancestry, so which variant this animal carries is settled without a sample of its own
- Variant
- DBE-NAD
- Line
- Nadeya, by descent
- On what footing
- descends from Ermine Trace Nadeya

Read this as parentage and nothing more. Each step is a parent recorded in the register from a pedigree or a breeder document. It shows how this cat descends from the founder of its line. It does not show which variant the cat carries, and it is not a substitute for a test.

What this page does not establish
This cat has a laboratory result. The grade above says which kind.
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.
