Are vampires born or turned?

Vampires are generally turned from humans, not born, through a process involving another vampire's bite and blood exchange, but some lore introduces "born vampires" or "purebloods" who have vampirism in their DNA, often resulting from conception by a vampire parent, creating a distinction between "turned" and "born" types. While most origin stories involve transformation, folklore also includes other methods like demonic possession or curses, making the answer depend heavily on the specific story or mythology.
