As PMP22 is the only gene that has been linked to HNPP, point mutation analysis of this gene in patients without a known whole or partial gene deletion is therefore likely to reveal additional mutations as mutations that reduce the functional level of PMP22 can cause a HNPP phenotype [16]. However, ...

Epistasis
Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes' (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, population genetics, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them leading to non-additive effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.
