Does pancreatic cancer run in families?

I became concerned about whether pancreatic cancer runs in families when my uncle was diagnosed. What I found is that the risk for developing it triples if a person's mother, father, sister, or brother had the disease. The American Cancer Society has very accessible information about genetic syndromes linked to pancreatic cancer that will give you more specifics.
