# Family tree legend

While adding a new case, you will build a pedigree and annotate each of the samples with data required for analysis ([Add new case page](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/launching-analysis/creating_a_single_case/broken-reference) > Family tree screen).

After the case has been created, the family tree is available in the [Case details](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/getting_around_the_platform/cases_tab/case_details) 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):

```
* Filled - the individual is affected by all of the proband's phenotypes;
* Half-filled - the individual is affected by some of the proband's phenotypes;
* Empty - the individual is not affected by any of the proband's phenotypes.
```

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

```
* Full color - the sample has files loaded in the case;
* Faded color - no sample files are available.
```

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

```
* Solid - the sample is included in the analysis;
* Dashed - the sample is ignored by Inheritance filters and the AI Shortlist algorithm, but you still can explore its genotypes.\
