LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid biosynthesis.4[1], 5[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Glycerophospholipid metabolism.6[1], 7[2]

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio may reflect the balance between different lipid synthesis pathways, influenced by FADS1/FADS2 activity on polyunsaturated fatty acid precursors.8[1], 9[2], 10[3]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

FADS gene variants alter polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, affecting the composition of complex lipids.11[1], 8[2] This dysregulation is linked to altered cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolaemia), inflammation, and cardiovascular phenotypes like valvular disease and thrombophlebitis.12[3], 1[4], 11[5], 13[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1
