LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Plasmalogen biosynthesis, PUFA metabolism.4[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, PUFA metabolism.5[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the efficiency of FADS1/FADS2 desaturase enzymes, comparing the downstream product arachidonic acid (20:4) with upstream precursor fatty acids (16:1/18:3).1[1], 6[2]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Genetic variants in FADS1/FADS2 alter polyunsaturated fatty acid balance, which is reflected in the ratio. This dysregulation impacts inflammatory and metabolic pathways, contributing to phenotypes like asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia.7[1], 8[2], 9[3]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1
