AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for detecting benign and malignant thyroid nodules have low sensitivity and accuracy. In particular, when fine-needle aspiration biopsy and molecular detection techniques are combined, 25% of thyroid nodules still cannot be clearly diagnosed.
Using a thyroid nodule benign and malignant detection library, we amplified specific sites of key genes such as BRAF, HRAS, KRAS, NRAS, and RET in thyroid nodules through one and two rounds of PCR amplification combined with primers for gene mutation and fusion detection. We then used specific primer combinations to detect gene mutations and fusions and evaluated the amplification effect in conjunction with housekeeping genes.
It achieves high sensitivity (92.8%), high specificity (90.9%), and high accuracy (92%) in the detection of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, simplifies the operation process, reduces material costs, and improves the specificity and uniformity of the detection.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of library construction, and particularly relates to a thyroid nodule benign and malignant detection library and kit. BACKGROUND
[0002] Thyroid tissue is mainly composed of follicular epithelial cells and parafollicular cells. Follicular epithelial cells are responsible for the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, and parafollicular cells secrete calcitonin and participate in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Thyroid nodule refers to a local abnormal proliferation of thyroid cells to form scattered lesions. Epidemiological data shows that the incidence of thyroid nodules in China is as high as 18.6%, and more than 200 million people carry thyroid nodules, of which about 7-15% are malignant nodules (thyroid cancer). Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is the gold standard for preoperative identification of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, but 25% of thyroid nodules cannot be diagnosed by FNA due to insufficient cytological sample size or atypical morphology, and need to be combined with molecular detection technology for risk stratification.
[0003] In recent years, important progress has been made in the molecular mechanism research of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. Somatic mutations have been confirmed as key drivers of the occurrence of thyroid cancer, and the molecular characteristics mainly focus on MAPK, PI3K and other signaling pathways. Common gene mutations include BRAF, HRAS / KRAS / NRAS, TP53 gene mutations, and RET / PTC and PAX8 / PPARG gene fusions. BRAF mutation rate in thyroid papillary carcinoma can reach 80%, and is rarely mutated in benign nodules, which is a very important tumor marker for thyroid papillary carcinoma. The incidence of RET / PTC fusion in sporadic papillary carcinoma is 15-20%, and is more common in ionizing radiation and pediatric papillary carcinoma. The incidence of TERT promoter mutation in differentiated thyroid carcinoma is 10-15%, and in more invasive poorly differentiated carcinoma and anaplastic carcinoma, it is 40-45%. The research on these gene mutations provides detailed basis for the molecular diagnosis of thyroid nodules. The domestic and foreign thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines and expert consensus all recommend that molecular diagnosis be included in the differential diagnosis process of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
[0004] Targeted next-generation sequencing usually has two methods to enrich the target region: hybrid capture method and multiplex amplification method. The hybrid capture method requires more template amount, the whole detection experiment process takes a long time, and the operation requirements of the experiment personnel are higher. The multiplex amplification method requires less total amount of template nucleic acid, the detection process is fast and the operation is simple. The invention patent with the application publication number CN116219016A discloses a thyroid nodule benign and malignant detection method, kit and application. The sensitivity of the kit for detecting the benign and malignant thyroid nodules is 78.57%, and the accuracy is 80%, both of which are low. SUMMARY
