Ed, ?
I thought you said that the varianti was shared by two kits.
If that is true, and the marker is not on the tree, the most reasonable inference is that FTDNA have not deemed it phylogenetically reliable.

I agree that FTDNA does not use every variant for haplogroups. However, to say that if it was reliable it would already be on the tree is not correct, in that a variant has to be shared before it will be placed on the tree. Until now, the variant I was discussing (4736883) was a private variant not known to be shared by two testers.?
