The multifactorial model of SUNDS. In this model, we set a supposed threshold for the multifactorial disease. The 2 major parts, namely, intrinsic genetic susceptibility and extrinsic risk burden, determine whether SUNDS occurs or not. People with different genetic background show different intrinsic genetic susceptibility to SUNDS. SUNDS indicates sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome.
