The exact cause of personality disorders is unclear. However, genetics, neurological differences, and environmental factors may contribute to the development of these complex mental health conditions.

Using genetic engineering, the researchers established two mouse models reflecting different forms of ADNP syndrome: mice that express only half the normal amount of ADNP, with only one active allele ...
