A sufficient cause is a complete casual mechanism. It can be defined as a set of events that inevitably produce disease. This can be depicted by disease causal chain. In disease etiology, the completion of a sufficient cause may be considered equivalent to the onset of disease. For biological effects, most and sometimes all of the components of a sufficient cause are unknown.
