Is there any danger of transplanting organs into you that have genes which signal not to develop a brain? Would those genes potentially affect your actual brain?

Depends on how they work. Many genes that are active during early development are entirely silenced throughout adulthood, or otherwise have no effect.

The short version is yes! This would be a significant concern.
