Mutation_burden_in_sun_exposed_eyelid__MSSE_

Eyelid skin from blepharoplasty surgery will be collected from patients of different ethnic origin (Chinese, Malay, Indian and Caucasion) exposed to tropical sunshine. 2mm2 biopsies will be collected and DNA sequenced using a specific bait capture set and at high depth. The aim is to try and see if different mutations expand in different ethnic populations.
