Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. An induced pluripotent stem cell line (EHTJUi002-A) was generated from umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCBMCs) of a neonate with heterozygous mutation of p.W226X(c.678G>A) in the FZD4 gene. This iPSC model offers a very valuable resource to study the pathological mechanism of FEVR in vitro.
