Achondroplasia (ACH; MIM #100800) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by gain-of-function mutations in FGFR3 gene and results in short-limb dwarfism. Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell line GZHMCi004-A derived from umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCBMCs) of a fetus with heterozygous G380R mutation in FGFR3 gene. This iPSC line is a valuable in vitro model to study the pathological mechanism and the treatment of ACH.
