Methylation profiling identifies two subclasses of squamous cell carcinoma related to distinct cells of origin

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a skin cancer that normally progresses from UV-induced actinic keratosis (AK). Here, the authors investigate the epigenomics of cSCC and highlight two distinct subclasses of AK and cSCC originating from distinct keratinocyte differentiation stages.
