Abstract excerpt
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine neoplasm of the skin. Immunosuppression, ultraviolet radiation and the integration of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) have all been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of this malignancy. We performed whole genome sequencing on two MCPyV-negative cases of MCC that demonstrated very different clinical presentations and outcomes, and mutational...
