LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Leucine degradation, mevalonate shunt5[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Nitric oxide precursor, urea cycle analogue6[1], 7[2]

Ratio Explanation:

Elevated 3-methylglutaconate suggests altered mitochondrial metabolism, while changes in homoarginine could reflect impaired nitric oxide synthesis or urea cycle function, potentially influenced by CPS1 activity.

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Reduced CPS1 function can impair the urea cycle and ammonia detoxification, potentially leading to renal stress.8[1], 9[2] Altered mitochondrial function from elevated 3-methylglutaconate and decreased homoarginine-derived nitric oxide could further contribute to cholelithiasis and kidney disease.10[3], 11[4], 12[5], 13[6]

Phenotype Driver:
