That has nothing to do with whether there are any values of 2 in the
data frame. The code I suggested can handle that:


no2 <- structure(list(X125 = c(0L, 1L, 1L, 0L, 1L), X255 = c(1L, 1L,
 1L, 1L, 0L), X558 = c(0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 0L), X2366 = c(NA, NA,
 1L, NA, 0L), X177 = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), X255.1 = c(0L, 1L,
 0L, 0L, 0L)), .Names = c("X125", "X255", "X558", "X2366", "X177",
 "X255.1"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("aa", "bb", "cs",
 "de", "gh"))

no2
apply(no2, 1, function(x)as.numeric(any(x == 2 & !is.na(x))))


> no2
   X125 X255 X558 X2366 X177 X255.1
aa    0    1    0    NA    0      0
bb    1    1    0    NA    0      1
cs    1    1    1     1    0      0
de    0    1    0    NA    0      0
gh    1    0    0     0    0      0
> apply(no2, 1, function(x)as.numeric(any(x == 2 & !is.na(x))))
aa bb cs de gh
 0  0  0  0  0

It also works for rows that are entirely NA. Thus, I'm forced to
conclude that there's something odd about lofGT_met, and you'll need
to provide more information about that data frame, and a reproducible
example, for a solution to be offered.
