Abstract:Super‐enhancer‐associated transcription factor networks define cell identity in neuroblastoma (NB). Dysregulation of these transcription factors contributes to the initiation and maintenance of NB by enforcing early developmental identity states. We report that the class I basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor 4 (TCF4; also known as E2‐2) is a critical NB dependency gene that significantly contributes to these identity states through heterodimerization with cell‐identity‐specific bHLH transcriptio… Show more
