GENETICS OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN FAMILIES
... Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs most commonly in families with multiple affected members. Such families are enriched with genetic variants that contribute to CAD, and therefore represent an ideal population for identification of susceptibility genes that might contribute to better ris ...

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.
