SRP343762 PRJNA775071 Transcriptome profile of Merkel Cell Carcinomas Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare neuroendocrine skin cancer with a particular incidence in elderly Caucasians; MCCs can be subdivided into two distinct subtypes: polyomavirus positive or polyomavirus negative. Here, we use comparative transcriptomics to gain an understanding of the genetic drivers behind MCC aggressiveness in these two distinct MCC subtypes.
