Merkel Cell Polyomavirus: Oncogenesis in a Stable Genome [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is the causative agent for the majority of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) cases. Polyomavirus-associated MCC (MCCP) is characterized by the integration of MCV DNA into the tumor genome and a low tumor mutational burden.
