Capital letters indicate that the allele is dominant.

Please note:

The genetic model using 3 different loci for the tabby pattern - Mc, Ta, Sp - is a model, which is likely to changes, if newer research results are available.
Sp is not in the table, because it is a model to express the spotted tabby colour.
It is a hypothesis that a white medallion, white gloves are the result of another gene (group) than gene S.
