A physiological and genetic model of Holt-Oram syndrome is presented, a syndrome characterized by mutations in the TBX5 or T-box transcription factor gene family that lead to congenital deformities. Research is presented on how different levels of TBX5 gene expression impact limb and heart development in several species.
