Abstract: MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that participate in the development of embryos by regulating the expression of their target genes. For a long time, scholars have focused on protein-coding mRNA. However, in recent years, with the in-depth study of non-coding RNAs, especially miRNAs, the mechanism of their role in palatal development is gradually elucidated. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent progress on the mechanism of cleft palate caused by miRNAs, hoping to provide a new reference and perspective for the cleft lip and palate researchers.

Key words: microRNA, cleft palate, etiology, pathogenesis
