Yes there are genetic lines of each. However, most pythons that may exhibit black-backed/reduced are just normals that have different style markings etc. The proven lines are particularly hard to come by genetically.
My little boy is "reduced pattern", but he is CH and it is very likely to not be genetic; who knows maybe it will prove out, but most black-backs and reduced are not genetic.
Still, its a very pretty normal.
