LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid biosynthesis.5[1], 6[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism.7[1], 8[2]

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio may reflect alterations in sphingolipid metabolism, potentially influenced by ISM1, differentiating between specific sphingomyelin species with varying fatty acid chain lengths and saturation.1[1], 9[2], 10[3]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

ISM1's regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammation could influence sphingomyelin profiles.1[1], 2[2] Altered sphingomyelin metabolism is linked to cholelithiasis, potentially through effects on cholesterol and LDL levels, providing a plausible but not fully established link.11[3], 12[4], 13[5]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:ISM1
