LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

De novo fatty acid synthesis, beta-oxidation4[1], 5[2]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the efficiency of converting palmitate, a precursor, into docosapentaenoate (n6 dpa) via FADS-mediated desaturation, indicating enzymatic activity.6[1], 7[2]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered FADS2 activity, supported by eQTL colocalization, influences the ratio of n6 DPA to palmitate, which is associated with dyslipidemia and increased risk for cholelithiasis, type 2 diabetes, and certain skin cancers by affecting inflammatory pathways and membrane composition.8[1], 9[2], 10[3], 11[4], 12[5]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS2
