... Certain common genetic point mutations have been characterized that reduce the function of the MTHFR enzyme. These are the C677T mutation (which is a change from cytosine to thymine at position 677 within the gene) and the A1298C mutation (which is a change from adenine to cytosine at position 1298 ...

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.
