Do adolescents with conduct disorder develop antisocial behavior due to some genetic trait?

No: Conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder are only differentiated by age. Conduct disorder in a teenager who just turned 18 gets switched to being classified as having antisocial personality disorder simply by classification. The only thing that changed is age.

Nature/nurture: There is a nature and nurture component in personality disorders such as conduct disorder, psychopathy/sociopathy (AKA antisocial personality disorder) however it's not a question of genetics or environment, it's usually a combination of the two.
