LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Bile acid biosynthesis.4[1], 5[2], 6[3]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Steroid hormone biosynthesis.7[1], 8[2], 9[3]

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio reflects the balance between bile acid synthesis (numerator) and the sulfation of steroid precursors (denominator), a process catalyzed by SULT2A1.3[1], 6[2]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites not in a pathway but enzyme catalyzes one metabolite

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Reduced SULT2A1 activity alters hepatic bile acid and steroid metabolism, leading to a modified bile composition.1[1], 10[2] This is a known risk factor for cholesterol gallstone formation (cholelithiasis) and subsequent gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis).11[3], 12[4], 13[5]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SULT2A1
