LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio likely reflects the balance between de novo sphingolipid synthesis (numerator) and ceramide-centric pathways (denominator) influenced by SGPP1 activity.

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

SGPP1's role in modulating ceramide levels provides a plausible link to the associated phenotypes of elevated triglycerides and HbA1c, as ceramides are known to influence insulin resistance and lipid metabolism.3[1], 4[2], 5[3], 6[4]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SGPP1
