These are psychological groupings, which may or may not map consistently in terms of neurology (my bias being on the may not side). In either case, even if there is a good mapping, it does not need to be present at birth. It can be something that only materialises during growth.

For any condition I'm assuming there is a continuum across the population from absolute genetic determination to zero genetic determination, with environment playing the odds for all the non-absolute cases. If true I have no guess as to what the distribution would look like.
you are the media you consume.

From what I have read in the literature there may be some genetic predisposition that favors narcissistic and borderline conditions, but the predominant factors are environmental, especially the nature and quality of parenting. There is a lot if indication that it takes both predisposition and bad parenting/bad environment to produce the more notable bad outcomes. And a lot of what may once have been considered genetic may well be epi-genetic environmental programming, including environmental toxins along with behavioral toxins.
If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.
