LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism.4[1], 5[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Plasmalogen and glycerophospholipid metabolism.6[1], 7[2]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects altered lipid metabolism, potentially influenced by APOE's role in transporting both sphingomyelins and plasmalogen precursors.8[1], 9[2], 10[3]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

APOE variants affect lipoprotein metabolism, altering the balance of circulating lipids like sphingomyelin and plasmalogens, which is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis.11[1], 12[2], 13[3]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:APOE
