Research advances in Peyronie’s disease: a comprehensive review on genomics, pathways, phenotypic manifestation, and therapeutic targets

Penile induration disease, commonly known as Peyronie's disease (PD), is a connective tissue disorder that affects the penis, leading to the development of fibrous plaques, penile curvature, and erectile dysfunction. PD is a common male reproductive system disease with a complex etiology involving multiple genes, signaling pathways, and different phenotypes.
