In individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish background, mutations such as 185delAG and 5382insC in BRCA1, and 6174delT in BRCA2 are present in higher frequencies than other mutations because of founder effects (6–8). In one study, the three mutations accounted for 62% of Ashkenazi patients with ovarian and/o ...

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.
