LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid metabolism.4[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Fatty acid beta-oxidation.5[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio likely reflects competitive transport of these two acylcarnitines by the SLC22A4/A5 transporters, indicating altered carnitine and fatty acid metabolism.1[1], 2[2], 6[3]

Ratio Evidence:

metabolites related through biology

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered function of SLC22A4, an immune-expressed cation transporter, may impact immune cell function through changes in carnitine or ergothioneine transport, influencing susceptibility to autoimmune hypothyroidism and affecting hematological traits.7[1], 8[2], 9[3]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SLC22A4
