... melanin causes the characteristic pale hair and skin of albinos. The lack of pigment may also cause visual problems. In a person who is homozygous for the gene that codes for the enzyme tyrosinase, both copies of the gene have the same allele. Tushana and Raymond are both homozygous for a mutated ty ...

... Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) owing to 21hydroxylase deficiency is mainly caused by mutations in the CYP21A2 gene [2,14]. As there are relevance between the 21hydroxylase activity caused by the mutation of CYP21A2 and severity of the clinic physical signs, genotyping CYP21A2 mutations has bee ...

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.
