trinucleotide repeat — Tandem repeats of three nucleotides that are present in many genes. Commonly trinucleotide repeats have undergone variable expansion in copy number, forming the basis of microsatellite markers, and occasionally resulting in the formation of… … Glossary of Biotechnology
trinucleotide repeat disorders — triplet repeat disorders disorders caused by unstable, dynamic mutations that result in expansion of triplet repeats within the affected gene, leading to abnormalities in gene expression and function. The disorders differ significantly in such… … Medical dictionary
trinucleotide repeat — Repetitive part of a genome that may form part of the coding sequence of a gene. The length of such repeats is frequently polymorphic, and unstably amplified repeats appear to be the major cause of such genetic diseases as Huntington s chorea,… … Dictionary of molecular biology
