LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism4[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism4[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the metabolic fate of ceramides produced by enzymes like CERS4, partitioning them towards either sphingomyelin or glycosylceramide synthesis within the sphingolipid pathway.5[1]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered CERS4 expression affects the balance of sphingomyelin and glycosylceramide.5[1] This dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism is associated with polyneuropathies6[2], 7[3] and also linked to changes in uric acid levels and gout.8[4], 9[5], 10[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Metabolite-centric[both]
