Certain penis disorders may be caused by genetic factors, but that isn't the case for all conditions that affect the penis. In fact, most penis disorders are caused by things like infection, injury, blood flow, and other issues that aren't inherited. Some penis disorders, like Peyronie's disease, may be influenced by genetic factors. Other genetic disorders like Klinefelter's syndrome may also affect the penis.
