Changes in human meibum lipid composition with age using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Recently, a segregation study in families with uveal and cutaneous melanoma identified 9q21 as a potential locus harboring a tumor-suppressor gene (TSG). One of the genes in this area, RASEF, was then analyzed as a candidate TSG, but lack of point mutations and copy number changes could not confirm this. In thi...
