They originate from interneuronal precursors; however, leveraging this origin for therapeutic insights remains unexplored. Here, we delineate a cellular hierarchy along the interneuron lineage development continuum, revealing that DHG-H3G34 mirror spatial patterns of progenitor streams surrounding interneuron nests, as seen during human brain development. Integrating these findings with genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens identifies genes upregulated in interneuron lineage progenitors as major dependencies. Among these, CDK6 emerges as a targetable vulnerability: DHG-H3G34 tumor cells show enhanced sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors and a CDK6-specific degrader, promoting a shift toward more mature interneuron-like states, reducing tumor growth, and prolonging xenograft survival. Notably, a patient with progressive DHG-H3G34 treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor achieved 17 months of stable disease.
