Abstract It was recently shown that inhibition of polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) induces synthetic lethality in cancers with chromosome 17q-encoded TRIM37 copy number gain due to cooperative regulation of centriole duplication and mitotic spindle nucleation. We show here that chromosome 17q/TRIM37 gain is a defining feature of high-risk neuroblastoma and renders patient-derived cell lines hypersensitive to the novel PLK4 inhibitor RP-1664.
