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.
TEXT. A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-9 (CMH9) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the TTN gene (188840) on chromosome 2q31.2012) used next-generation sequencing to analyze the TTN gene in 203 individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (CMD; see CMD1G, 604145), 231 with CMH, and 249 controls. The frequency of TTN mutations was significantly higher among individuals with CMD (27%) than among those with CMH (1%) or controls (3%).
