This study (among lots of other fascinating material) mentions prenatal alcohol exposure as a likely contributing cause. Very possible in the case I'm familiar with. Of course, alcohol use while pregnant probably also correlates with the parent's overall personality issues, so is not 100% independent of the genetic factors.
