The LCT gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme helps to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Lactase is produced by cells that line the walls of the small intestine.olecular Location on chromosome 2: base pairs 135,787,844 to 135,837,179. The LCT gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 2 at position 21. More precisely, the LCT gene is located from base pair 135,787,844 to base pair 135,837,179 on chromosome 2.
The serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) is considered as a candidate gene for BPD as multiple lines of evidence have suggested that it plays an important role in suicide, impulsive behaviour, and emotional liability.ompared with healthy controls, patients with BPD showed higher frequencies of the 10 repeat of the VNTR marker and the S-10 haplotype, and fewer 12 repeat and L A -12 haplotype. These results suggest that the serotonin transporter gene may play a role in the aetiology of BPD.
