It is said that genetic predisposition is a significant factor in causing Peyronie's disease, although the genetic component is not always obvious in some cases. Few doubt the importance of genetic predisposition in the development of this growing male health problem.

Because of the statistical link that suggests men from the norther Europe (Scandinavian countries and the U.K.) are more inclined to develop Peyronie's disease than those from Asia, Africa or other parts of the world, the genetic factor is difficult to refute. However, men whose ancestors do not hail from northern Europe do develop Peyronie's disease when physical trauma or drug toxicity are significant.
