Background and purpose: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive skin cancer, with a high tendency to both relapse and metastasize. 70-80% of MCCs carry the recently detected Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV). MCV integrates clonally into the tumour genome and harbors specific mutations, which suggest a causal role in the tumorigenesis. Predispositional factors for MCC include advanced age, Caucasian race and immunocompromising states. The purpose of this study was to examine the etiological factors of MCC, particularly in the subgroups of immunodeficient and unusually young MCC patients. We also aimed to elucidate the biology and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of the subgroup of tumours that do not present with M...
