If by trait you mean a biological factor like the heredity (gene) of Schizophrenia, then the environment would affect because if stressors where to happen like parent's divorce it could trigger the manifestation of the trait.

Another example is intelligence. Though intelligence is hereditary, it can be said that children who have the exposure to the adequate environment, tools, and reward system are more likely to fulfill their capacity.

If you want to know more about the subject, you could look for twin studies that study identical twins who have been separated at birth thus they have the same "nature" but not "nurture"
