LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid biosynthesis/metabolism.8[1], 9[2], 10[3], 11[4], 12[5], 13[6], 14[7]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid biosynthesis/metabolism.8[1], 9[2], 10[3], 11[4], 12[5], 13[6], 14[7]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects altered sphingomyelin acyl chain composition, potentially due to HNF1A's influence on enzymes regulating fatty acid elongation or substrate availability.15[1], 16[2]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered HNF1A function likely dysregulates hepatic lipid metabolism, influencing sphingomyelin composition. This altered lipid profile, particularly the balance of different sphingomyelin species, is associated with an increased risk for cholelithiasis and cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, which are listed phenotypes.6[1], 17[2], 18[3], 19[4], 20[5], 21[6]

Phenotype Driver:
