LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

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

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

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

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio reflects FADS enzyme activity, comparing sphingomyelin to an arachidonic acid-containing phosphatidylethanolamine, thus indicating the balance in polyunsaturated fatty acid incorporation into phospholipids.

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Genetic variation in FADS1/FADS2 alters desaturase activity, affecting polyunsaturated fatty acid levels. This shifts the balance of lipid species, influencing lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways, contributing to phenotypes like cholelithiasis and hypercholesterolemia.9[1], 10[2], 11[3], 12[4], 13[5]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1/FADS2
