But maybe something like Eternal Magnekyou Sharingan or Sasuke's 'Sha'Rinnegan should be considered Kekkei Tota. But they are not really genetic, probably the reason why they aren't. Only Uchiha can use susanoo and even then not only all Mangekyou users can. So why would Susanoo not be a Kekkei Genkai in it's own? Madara could use it without eyes, suggesting that the Mangekyou is not the only way to manifest it (just that it's probably the easiest to manifest).
