Docs can you explain, is sociopathy genetic and hereditary or caused by something else?

Sociopathy: Sociopathy is is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy and remorse, and disinhibited or bold behavior. The research is not absolute on this, although some traits might be genetically based. More important is why this question is being asked--curiosity or understanding of someone else or yourself (or both)?
