[0057] 101: obtain the CNV amplification of the gene / protein of the sample to be tested.

[0058] 102: extract the CNV amplification of the target gene / protein in the CNV amplification of the gene / protein, the target gene / protein includes CDK4.

[0059] 103: based on the CNV amplification of CDK4, the recurrence risk of craniopharyngioma is predicted, and the classification result of the recurrence risk of craniopharyngioma of the sample to be tested is obtained; if the CNV amplification ratio of CDK4 is high, the result of the recurrence risk of craniopharyngioma of the sample to be tested is obtained, if the CNV amplification ratio of CDK4 is low, the result of the recurrence risk of craniopharyngioma of the sample to be tested is low.

[0060] In some embodiments, CDK4 includes wild type, mutant or fragment thereof. The term encompasses full-length, unprocessed CDK4, any form of CDK4 that results from processing in cells, as well as naturally occurring variants of CDK4 (e.g., splice variants or allelic variants). The term encompasses, for example, human CDK4 as well as CDK4 from any other vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), Gene ID: 1019.

[0061] In some embodiments, the craniopharyngioma comprises adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma, squamous papillary craniopharyngioma.

[0062] In specific embodiments, the craniopharyngioma is selected from the group consisting of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.

[0063] The screening and verification process of the target gene / protein CDK4 of the present application is as follows:

[0064] The present application collected 118 paraffin-embedded tissue samples of patients diagnosed with adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma by pathology in the Department of Neurosurgery of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2020 to December 2024 after admission and surgery. Excluding 20 samples with poor quality and incomplete follow-up data, 98 samples were finally included in the analysis, including primary (49 cases) and multiple recurrence cases (49 cases). According to the 1:2 ratio, 33 patients were included in the training group (16 multiple recurrences, 17 primary), and 65 patients were included in the validation group (33 multiple recurrences, 32 primary).

[0065] In each sample, the system counted the number of CDK4 CNV amplified blood vessels by image analysis, and calculated the proportion of all blood vessels (blood vessels labeled with CD31+), defined as "CDK4 amplified blood vessel proportion". Then the samples were randomly divided into training and validation groups (1:2), that is, modeling was performed according to the grouping standard of "primary vs multiple recurrence (multiple recurrence defined as more than or equal to 3 times of recurrence)". Figure 4 、 Figure 5 )。

[0066] The ROC curve analysis determined that the optimal segmentation threshold of this proportion for predicting recurrence was 0.03691454 (i.e. 3.7%). When the CDK4 amplified blood vessel proportion of a patient is higher than the threshold, it indicates that the patient has a higher risk of recurrence. This index has good stability in the training group (AUC = 0.78, sensitivity 82%, specificity 69%), and also shows excellent prediction performance in the validation group (AUC = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.82-0.97; sensitivity 88%, specificity 85%, accuracy 86%). In addition, the positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) are 74% and 79% in the training group, and 85% and 88% in the validation group, respectively (Table 1). Figure 6

[0082] In some embodiments, the image acquisition device and parameter method include:

[0083] Microscope platform: Olympus VS200 digital pathology slide scanner or Leica DMi8 confocal system.

[0084] Objective magnification: 40x oil or 63x oil.

[0089] Image analysis steps:

[0090] A. CD31 slice image analysis (B slice):

[0091] 1) Open CD31 staining image (Alexa Fluor 620 channel).

[0092] 2) Identify continuous vascular structure (CD31+): purple marker in tubular or elliptical closed loop structure.

[0093] 3) Manually count the number of vascular units (each closed loop structure is considered as 1 blood vessel).

[0094] 4) Count multiple fields (5-10 fields are recommended) on each slice, and average the total number of blood vessels.

[0095] B. CDK4 FISH slice image analysis (A slice):

[0096] 1) Open CDK4 / CEP12 FISH image (activate Cy3 and FITC channels respectively).

[0097] 2) Identify vascular endothelial cell nuclei in the structure control area (according to the morphology of the continuous slice position).

[0098] 3) Count the number of CDK4 signals (red dots) and CEP12 signals (green dots) per endothelial nucleus.

[0099] 4) Determine the CDK4 amplification criteria: CDK4 / CEP12 > 2.0; or presence of clustered CDK4 signals (≥ 6 tight red signals).

[0100] 5) Count the number of blood vessels that meet the above criteria (CDK4 amplification positive blood vessels).

[0101] Proportion calculation formula: CDK4 amplification blood vessel proportion = CDK4 amplification positive blood vessel number / total CD31 positive blood vessel number x 100%.

[0102] In some embodiments, the threshold calculation process includes: based on the recurrence situation (primary vs multiple recurrence, defined as ≥ 3 recurrences), the present application assigns a category label to the sample, and uses the pROC package in R software to construct the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) to evaluate the predictive performance of "CDK4 amplification blood vessel proportion" in distinguishing between the two groups. To find the best predictive threshold, the present application uses the coords() function and sets the best discrimination standard as the maximization of Youden's index to determine the optimal differentiation threshold to achieve the best balance between sensitivity and specificity. The optimal threshold determined by this method is 0.03691454 (i.e. 3.7%). When the CDK4 amplification blood vessel proportion of a patient is higher than the threshold, it indicates that the patient has a higher risk of recurrence. This threshold is stable in the training group (AUC = 0.78, sensitivity 82%, specificity 69%), and shows better predictive performance in the validation group (AUC = 0.90, sensitivity 88%, specificity 85%).

[0103] In some embodiments, the specific calculation process and code include:

[0104] 1) Sample labeling and grouping

[0105] All cases were grouped according to the number of operations, and a category label was assigned for subsequent ROC analysis (primary group = 0, multiple recurrence group = 1).

[0106] 2) ROC curve construction

[0107] R language v4.3.0 and pROC package were used for analysis, with "CDK4 amplification blood vessel proportion" (continuous variable) as the input variable and recurrence risk (0 or 1) as the classification label. The following code was executed:

[0108] library (pROC)

[0109] roc_obj <- roc(response = group, predictor = cdk4_ratio)

[0110] 3) Threshold determination and optimization

[0111] The cutoff with the best performance is extracted from the ROC curve using the coords() function. The optimization criterion is set to maximize the Youden Index (i.e., Sensitivity + Specificity - 1) to achieve the best balance between sensitivity and specificity:

[0112] opt_threshold <- coords(roc_obj, x = "best", best.method = "youden").

[0113] The final optimal threshold is: CDK4 amplification blood vessel ratio = 0.03691454 (i.e., 3.7%).

[0122] The reagents include a CDK4 CNV probe and CDK4 CNV primers.

[0123] In some embodiments, primers and amplification primers are used interchangeably. A primer is an oligonucleotide that hybridizes with the target nucleic acid or its complement and participates in the nucleic acid amplification reaction. The amplification primer hybridizes with the template nucleic acid and has a 3'-OH (3'-hydroxyl) group that can be extended by polymerization. In some embodiments, the amplification primer is 15-60, 15-55, 15-50, 15-45, 15-40, 15-35, or 15-30 bases in length. In some embodiments, the amplification primer is 18-30 bases in length. In some embodiments, the amplification primer is 18-60 bases in length and contains 18-30 consecutive bases (target hybridization region) that hybridize with a corresponding 18-30 nucleotide oligonucleotide hybridization sequence present in the target nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the 18-30 consecutive bases are located at the 3' end of the amplification primer.

[0124] In some implementations, a probe refers to an oligonucleotide capable of hybridizing to a target nucleic acid of interest. Depending on the stringency of the hybridization conditions, the probe will typically essentially form a chemical bond between the probe sequence and a target sequence lacking complete complementarity. The probe may be associated with an appropriate tag or reporter moiety so that the probe (and its target) can be detected, visually inspected, measured, and / or determined.

[0125] The products include reagent kits and test strips.

[0126] The kit also includes detectable markers.

[0127] In some implementations, suitable detectable markers include, but are not limited to, magnetic beads (e.g., Dynabeads™), fluorescent dyes (e.g., fluorescein isothiocyanate, Texas red, rhodamine, green fluorescent protein, red fluorescent protein, yellow fluorescent protein, etc.), and radioactive markers (e.g. 3 H, 125 I, 35 S, 14 C, or 32 P), enzymes (such as horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, luciferase, and other substances commonly used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and colorimetric markers, such as colloidal gold or colored glass or plastic beads (e.g., polystyrene, polypropylene, latex, etc.).

[0128] In some embodiments, a kit refers to any delivery system for delivering materials. In the context of nucleic acid purification systems and reaction assays, such delivery systems include systems that allow for the storage, transport, or delivery of reagents and devices (e.g., lytic salts, particles, buffers, denaturants, oligonucleotides, filters, etc. in appropriate containers) and / or supporting materials (e.g., sample processing or sample storage containers, written instructions for performing a procedure, etc.) from one location to another. For example, a kit includes one or more enclosures (e.g., boxes) containing the relevant reaction reagents and / or supporting materials.

[0129] In some embodiments, a kit includes a fragmentation kit and a combination kit. A fragmentation kit refers to a delivery system comprising two or more separate containers, each containing a sub-portion of the total kit components. The containers can be delivered together or separately to an intended recipient. For example, a first container can contain materials and buffers for sample collection, while a second container contains capture oligonucleotides and denaturants. A combination kit refers to a delivery system comprising all components of a reaction assay in a single container (e.g., in a single box containing each of the required components).

For example, the apparatus embodiments described above are merely schematic. For example, the division of the units is only a logical function division.
