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 a 3H-labeled c-oncgene probe to meiotic pachytene chromosomes. Both v-erb-Aand v-erb-Bare the v-oncgenes 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.
