The infant brain has been developing based on feedback from the body for months in-utero. They brain is getting sensory inputs from the fetus's movement as well as external sounds, so it's definitely not a pure function of its genes.
Maternal stress, which the fetus can sense through hormones that cross the placental barrier, is also known to affect development before birth.
