Sociopathy is increasingly perceived, by mental health research professionals, to have a strong genetic component. In the frontal lobe association area which functions to process emotional tone, deficits have been repeatedly seen on PET scans and other tests.

So, yes, it is quite possible that sociopathy could result from a brith defect (in the form of a DNA coding defect which leads to brain development problems).
