  A chiral extrapolation of the light vector meson masses in the up, down and
strange quark masses of QCD is presented. We apply an effective chiral
Lagrangian based on the hadrogenesis conjecture to QCD lattice ensembles of
PACS-CS, QCDSF-UKQCD and HSC in the strict isospin limit. The leading orders
low-energy constants are determined upon a global fit to the lattice data set.
We use the pion and kaon masses as well as the size of the finite volume as
lattice ensemble parameters only. The quark mass ratio on the various ensembles
are then predicted in terms of our set of low-energy constants. An accurate
reproduction of the vector meson masses and quark-mass ratios as provided by
the lattice collaborations and the Particle Data Group (PDG) is achieved.
Particular attention is paid to the \omega-\phi mixing phenomenon, which is
demonstrated to show a strong quark mass dependence.
