LncRNA MIR17HG, located at chromosome 13q31, plays an inevitable role in promoting tumor progressions, such as tumorigenesis, proliferation, and metastasis. Besides, lncRNA MIR17HG is rare due to its open reading frame (ORF), which can be translated to produce protein. By systematically retrieval, we summarized that MIR17HG is an emerging lncRNA that exhibits carcinogenically in osteosarcoma (OS), glioma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRT). Furthermore, a high expression level of MIR17HG protein is also linked with meningioma. Additionally, MIR17HG polymorphisms in glioma, CRC, liver cancer (LC), breast cancer (BC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and multiple myeloma (MM) also have a large influence on cancer susceptibility, prognosis, and so on. Collectively, long non-coding RNA MIR17HG’s tumor-stimulative role could be a promising therapeutic target. Besides, by investigating patients’ MIR17HG single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), clinicians could also personalize the productive interventions in gene therapy or predict the diagnosis/prognosis precisely.
