LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis.4[1], 5[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid metabolism.6[1], 7[2], 8[3]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects FADS-mediated synthesis of dihomo-linolenate relative to margarate, indicating desaturase activity influencing inflammatory precursor availability.5[1]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Genetic variation in FADS1/FADS2 alters polyunsaturated fatty acid profiles, which are crucial for inflammatory processes.9[1], 10[2] This dysregulation is linked to inflammatory skin conditions like dermatitis and alterations in blood lipid and cell profiles, likely through modulating eicosanoid synthesis.11[3], 12[4], 13[5], 14[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1/FADS2
