hey larry, thanks for the link - however I read the whole article - that's just the abstract (on an article written 7 years ago - so it's on the "old side")
from the abstract -
"The best-fitting models never included shared-in-families environmental effects. However, a model with only shared familial and unique environmental effects could not be ruled out for dependent PD. Shared familial environmental effects may also influence the development of any PD and borderline PD. Passive-aggressive PD did not seem to be affected by genes or family environment at all. The low occurrence of antisocial PD in the twin sample precluded any model for this disorder. PDs seem to be more strongly influenced by genetic effects than almost any axis I disorder, and more than most broad personality dimensions. However, we observed a large variation in heritability among the different PDs, probably partly because of a moderate sample size and low prevalence of the specific disorders."I think the thrust is not necessarily genetic, but environmental for PD's - I think as I mentioned - they have also stated that there sampling size was "moderate" and biased (low prevalence) in disorder type.
That does not necessarily mean that it's genetic -the study points to the possibility - but many things are possible, though not probable.
