X-linked miRNA mapping and key roles in melanoma development and progression. Schematic depiction of miRNA localization on the human X chromosome: miRNAs with a confirmed role in melanoma pathogenesis are shown. Red writing inside boxes indicate miRNAs, target genes (italics) and their downstream oncogenic effects; green writing indicates those with oncosuppressive functions.
