The causes of personality disorders are unknown. However, many genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role.
Causative factors associated with PDs include genetic factors with [[mutations]] in genes involving [[dopamine]] and [[serotonin]] pathways such as DRD2, [[COMT]], DTNBP1, DAAO, 5-HTTLPR, [[MAOA]], DRD3,[[TPH1]] and [[TPH2]] and environmental factors like stresses, parental treatment, sexual abuse and substance use.

Child abuse and neglect consistently evidence themselves as antecedent risks to the development of personality disorders in adulthood.  In this particular study, efforts were taken to match retrospective reports of abuse with a clinical population that had demonstrated psychopathology from childhood to adulthood who were later found to have experienced abuse and neglect. The sexually abused group demonstrated the most consistently elevated patterns of psychopathology.  Officially verified physical abuse showed an extremely strong role in the development of antisocial and impulsive behavior. On the other hand, cases of abuse of the neglectful type that created childhood pathology were found to be subject to partial remission in adulthood.

Overview

Causative factors associated with PDs include genetic factors with mutations in genes involving dopamine and serotonin pathways such as DRD2, COMT, DTNBP1, DAAO, 5-HTTLPR, MAOA, DRD3,TPH1 and TPH2 and environmental factors like stresses, parental treatment, sexual abuse and substance use.

Severity of abuse was found to be statistically significant, but clinically negligible, in symptomatology variance spread over Cluster A, B and C scales.Miller and Lisak.
