# Family tree legend

While adding a new case, you will build a pedigree and annotate each of the samples with data required for analysis.

After the case has been created, the family tree is available in the [Case details](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/getting_around_the_platform/cases_tab/case_details.md) panel (righthand panel of the Cases page).

## Family tree legend:

1. **Icon fill color** in other pedigree members indicates the presence or absence of the proband's phenotypes in a present sample (regardless of the potential presence of additional unrelated phenotypes).

{% columns %}
{% column width="41.66666666666667%" valign="middle" %}

<div align="center"><img src="/files/iVu0MiJufELE0YTtz1Me" alt=""></div>
{% endcolumn %}

{% column width="58.33333333333333%" %}

1. **Filled:** The individual is affected by all of the proband's phenotypes.
2. **Half-filled:** The individual is affected by some of the proband's phenotypes.
3. **Empty:** The individual is not affected by any of the proband's phenotypes.
   {% endcolumn %}
   {% endcolumns %}

2\. **Icon color intensity** denotes whether sample files have been uploaded for the particular individual.

{% columns %}
{% column width="41.66666666666667%" valign="middle" %}

<div align="center"><img src="/files/qfyfQmLL9acODHSfErSS" alt=""></div>
{% endcolumn %}

{% column width="58.33333333333333%" %}

1. **Full color:** The sample has files loaded in the case.
2. **Faded color:** No sample files are available.
   {% endcolumn %}
   {% endcolumns %}

3\. **Icon line type** indicates whether the sample is considered or excluded during analysis (relevant to samples with uploaded files only)

{% columns %}
{% column width="41.66666666666667%" valign="middle" %}
![](/files/t4CKijfLmmNQ29enWVYd)
{% endcolumn %}

{% column width="58.33333333333333%" %}

1. **Solid:** The sample is included in the analysis.
2. **Dashed:** The sample is ignored by Inheritance filters and the AI Shortlist algorithm, but you still can explore its genotypes.
   {% endcolumn %}
   {% endcolumns %}
