Although most cases are sporadic, approximately 10% of the patients may have a family history of immunodeficiency. Genetic causes involving genes related to B-cell development and survival have been identified in only a small percentage of cases.

The N is produced via W→Nμ or W→Ne and decays into two charged leptons and a neutrino, forming a displaced vertex. The N mass is used to discriminate between signal and background.
