Mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis, NanoLC-MS/MS, Amyloidosis typing
Brief summary
The main objective is to establish that a new technique of amyloidosis typing by Proteomics (based on nanoLC-MS/MS mass spectrometry) allows typing in \> 90% of observations in patients whose Amyloidosis is reported to have failed typing (impossible typing, uncertain or inconsistent) with the traditional anatomopathological approach, and this in a cohort of 40 patients identified consecutively in the Department of pathological anatomy and cytology of the University Hospital of Toulouse and included prospectively.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Diagnosis of Amyloidosis by Red Congo staining and birefringence in polarized light on tissue sampling * Immunolabeling Amyloidosis typing 1. impossible (no frozen sample available) 2. or inconclusive (doubtful) 3. or inconsistent with clinical, biological, genetic and iconographic data * Signature of the informed consent form
Exclusion criteria
* Insufficient tissue material to perform the new technique * Person placed under judicial protection * Pregnant and breastfeeding women
Design outcomes
