How these alterations promote transcriptional programs governing malignancy remains poorly defined. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated chromatin states across MB subgroups by multi-modal integration of histone modifications with mutational, DNA methylation, and transcriptomic profiles. A bivalent/poised enhancer (EnhBiv) state was specifically enriched at the promoters of neurodevelopmental genes in Groups 3 and 4-MB. Integrative bioinformatics coupled with chromatin occupancy studies identified aberrant KDM2B binding at EnhBiv-enriched promoters. CRISPR-mediated knockout or acute protein degradation of KDM2B selectively suppressed the growth of MB models in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, KDM2B promotes sequential recruitment of Polycomb repressive complexes (PRC1/PRC2) and EnhBiv chromatin, thereby repressing neuronal differentiation programs. Collectively, we provide foundational insights into an epigenetic basis of MB, nominating KDM2B as a selective dependency in high-risk subgroups that warrants consideration as a candidate therapeutic target.</description><dates><publication>2026/06/26</publication></dates><accession>GSE269909</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9570165</GSM><GSM>GSM9570166</GSM><GSM>GSM9570163</GSM><GSM>GSM9570164</GSM><GSM>GSM8330120</GSM><GSM>GSM9570169</GSM><GSM>GSM8330121</GSM><GSM>GSM9570167</GSM><GSM>GSM9570168</GSM><GSM>GSM8330124</GSM><GSM>GSM8330125</GSM><GSM>GSM8330122</GSM><GSM>GSM8330123</GSM><GSM>GSM8330128</GSM><GSM>GSM9570161</GSM><GSM>GSM8330129</GSM><GSM>GSM9570162</GSM><GSM>GSM8330126</GSM><GSM>GSM9570160</GSM><GSM>GSM8330127</GSM><GSM>GSM8330119</GSM><GSM>GSM9570176</GSM><GSM>GSM9570174</GSM><GSM>GSM9570175</GSM><GSM>GSM8330131</GSM><GSM>GSM8330132</GSM><GSM>GSM8330130</GSM><GSM>GSM8330135</GSM><GSM>GSM8330136</GSM><GSM>GSM8330133</GSM><GSM>GSM8330134</GSM><GSM>GSM9570172</GSM><GSM>GSM8330139</GSM><GSM>GSM9570173</GSM><GSM>GSM8330137</GSM><GSM>GSM9570170</GSM><GSM>GSM9570171</GSM><GSM>GSM8330138</GSM><GSM>GSM8330142</GSM><GSM>GSM8330140</GSM><GSM>GSM8330141</GSM><GSM>GSM9570159</GSM><GSM>GSM8330113</GSM><GSM>GSM8330114</GSM><GSM>GSM8330111</GSM><GSM>GSM8330112</GSM><GSM>GSM8330117</GSM><GSM>GSM8330118</GSM><GSM>GSM8330115</GSM><GSM>GSM8330116</GSM><GPL>24676</GPL><GSE>269909</GSE><taxon>Homo sapiens</taxon></cross_references></HashMap>
