Identification of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus from a Patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Y SongPeter GyarmatiPublished in: Genome announcements (2017)
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is an oncogenic virus associated with Merkel cell carcinoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer with a high (>30%) mortality rate. The virus has a high incidence in patients with immunosuppressed conditions, such as AIDS or leukemia, or following organ transplantation. Here, we report the complete genomic sequence of MCPyV identified from a blood sample from a patient with acute myeloid leukemia.
