Article Title: Germ-line chromosomal localization of human C-Erb-A oncogene
Abstract: The human germ-line position of c-erb-A, the cellular counterpart of v-erb-A, has been determined by in situ molecular hybridization of a3H-labeled c-onc gene probe to meiotic pachytene chromosomes. Both v-erb-A and v-erb-B are the v-onc genes that are associated with induction of sarcoma and erythroblastosis in chicken by the avian erythroblastosis virus, a rapidly transforming RNA tumor virus. The position of c-erb-A, determined here to be at 17q21.33-q22, is in the same region of chromosome 17 in which a nonrandom break occurs in the generation of t(15;17), a translocation commonly seen in acute promyelocytic leukemia. © 1985 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
