* The most potent risk factor in the development of MMC is [[Immune suppression]].


* According to a recent study in the Lancet, Merkel cell carcinoma occurs 13.4 times more often in people with advanced [[HIV]] as compared to the general population. Solid organ transplant recipients have  similarly increased risk.
