LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid metabolism/oxidation.2[1], 3[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid beta-oxidation.4[1]

Ratio Explanation:

An elevated ratio of myristoleoylcarnitine to 3-hydroxyhexanoate, both involved in fatty acid oxidation, could indicate altered mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism regulated by THEM4 thioesterase activity.2[1]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered fatty acid metabolism due to THEM4 dysfunction, reflected by the myristoleoylcarnitine to 3-hydroxyhexanoate ratio, may contribute to diverticular disease, potentially through inflammation or altered gut energy metabolism.5[1], 6[2]

Phenotype Driver:
