| trinucleotide |
A three-base-pair portion of a gene that causes a specific amino acid to be put into the protein made by a gene. Also called a 'codon'. Huntington's Disease is caused by a trinucleotide repeat in the Huntington's gene that puts too many glutamine amino acids into the huntingtin protein made by the gene.

| trinucleotide |
Expansion of a segment of DNA within a gene that contains a repeat of three nucleotides (triplet repeats). This increase of triplet repeats happens as the gene is passed on from one generation to another. It can lead to abnormal gene expression and function. Triplet repeat diseases include fragile X syndrome, Huntington disease, myotonic dystrophy, and Friedreich ataxia.
