Abstract: MicroRNAs have emerged as small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression linked to various biological processes. MicroRNA-206 is one of the most studied and best characterized miRNAs,which plays pivotal roles in biological function and is also involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases including cancer. This review summarized the results of studies of microRNA-206 with emphasis on its function in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases and indicated its significant diagnostic and therapeutic potential in the future.
