London, Nov 2 : A ‘significant discovery’ by researchers at Cambridge University could help cure deadly brain tumours in kids, according to a new study.

The researchers have pinpointed a rearrangement of DNA present in around two-thirds of all cases of the most common brain tumours in five to 19-year-olds.

The most common type of brain tumour is pilocytic astrocytomas.

According to the researchers, the discovery could pave the way for creating better treatments and make diagnosis more accurate.
