LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Glycerophospholipid metabolism.4[1]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Phosphatidylcholine Biosynthesis.5[1]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the balance of omega-6 (linoleoyl) to omega-3 (docosahexaenoyl) fatty acid incorporation into phosphatidylcholines, influenced by FADS desaturase activity.2[1], 3[2], 6[3]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Variants in the FADS gene cluster alter the activity of desaturase enzymes, impacting the balance of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.1[1], 7[2] This dysregulation of lipid metabolism is associated with an increased risk for pure hypercholesterolemia and cholelithiasis (gallstones).8[3], 9[4], 10[5]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:FADS1/FADS2
