Unveiling the Diagnostic Value and Potential Therapeutic Targets of Phenylalanine Metabolism in Pancreatic Cancer via Integrated Multi‐Omics and Machine Learning

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.
MR identified phenylalanine as a causal PC risk factor (OR 1.18). A 5‐gene RF model (AUC 0.955) highlighted SLC6A14 as the top biomarker. Single‐cell analysis revealed epithelial–immune crosstalk. Molecular docking identified genistein (−9.1 kcal/mol) as a lead SLC6A14‐targeting compound.
