The invention discloses application of a BRAF
gene detector to preparation of an ACTH type pituitary
adenoma molecular
pathological diagnosis and parting product. It is proved through tests that
BRAF gene mutation is peculiar to ACTH type pituitary
adenoma and not found in other types of pituitary
adenoma, so that the
BRAF gene mutation can serve as a specific molecular
pathological diagnosis marker of the ACTH type pituitary adenoma. According to the result that a BRAF
gene is
mutant or not, the ACTH pituitary adenoma can be further divided into two subtypes, namely the BRAF
mutant type and the
wild type, the mean volume of the BRAF
mutant type ACTH pituitary adenoma is small, the
attack degree is low, and the
midnight serum cortisol concentration is less than or equal to 22 ug / dl; the mean volume of the
wild type ACTH pituitary adenoma is large, the
attack degree is high, and the
midnight serum cortisol concentration is greater than 22 ug / dl. Therefore, the different subtypes of the ACTH pituitary adenoma can be judged by detecting whether the BRAF
gene is mutant or not, and different
clinical treatment strategies are adopted in time accordingly.
