LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the balance between fatty acid desaturation and sphingolipid synthesis. FADS enzymes produce adrenate while sphingomyelins are formed through a separate pathway.3[1], 4[2]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Genetic variation in FADS1/FADS2 alters the production of adrenate (a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid), which influences inflammatory processes and lipid metabolism, contributing to the risk of inflammatory bowel disease and type 2 diabetes, where sphingolipids are also implicated.5[1], 6[2], 7[3], 8[4]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1/FADS2
