It very well could. A person could have inherited the gene for depression (nature) and make it more likely that they will experience depression. However, this is not the only deciding factor. A theory that is studied today that gives weight to this assumption is called epigenetics.
Epigenetics is the study of how the environment can alter gene expression. To explain, this study focuses on how the environment could heighten or lower the expression of a gene (nurture).
Another theory called reciprocal gene-environment interactions explains that people with certain genes could seek environments that enhance the expression of certain genes, creating a disorder. For instance, a person who inherited a gene for depression would seek out situations or tend to focus on the situations that would make them depressed.

Nature vs nurture can definitely affect the moral development of children. Stereotypically, the nurtured child will have a greater sense of moral development than the child raised by nature, because the child raised by nature will be exposed to the harsher realities. However, this can backfire with a nurtured child missing out on moral development from lack of experience, and the nature child developing a much keener sense of morals. When it comes to nature vs nurture, things are always subjective.
