Yes it is genetic but it is not always considered to be a disorder. It is a very unusual trait but it does not affect the cognitive function or quality of life of people who have it. (Except the prejudices of other people.)

Polydactyly is a genetic disorder which leads to one having six fingers or toes. This is also known as hexadactyly.

Some cases can be genetic but most are not and there can be any number (not necessarily 6).
Is polydactyly common in men or women?
Polydactyly is more common in men, because it is a genetic disorder. Because females have 2 X chromosomes, a recessive trait passed down on one will be covered by the dominant trait on their other X chromosome for no polydactyly. Males though, have an X and Y chromosome which means that that the Y chromosome, carrying no trait for polydactyly, will not affect an X chromosome with the allele for polydactyly. Hence, polydactyly is found in men more than women.
