LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Glycerophospholipid biosynthesis1[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism7[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the balance between glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid synthesis, influenced by FADS1/FADS2 activity which provides polyunsaturated fatty acids for both pathways.1[1], 2[2], 8[3], 7[4], 9[5]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Variations in FADS1/FADS2 genes affect the balance of fatty acids incorporated into glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids. This altered lipid profile is associated with an increased risk for inflammatory conditions and metabolic diseases like cholelithiasis, pure hypercholesterolemia, and Type 2 diabetes.10[1], 11[2]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1/FADS2
