I am extremely sorry to hear that you lost your son . In most children the cause of the brain tumour is not known but in some tumours like the Optic glioma it may be due to a hereditary disease called neurofibromatosis.5% of all brain tumours are related to known genetic condition . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
