The Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Gene Environment Risk Study -A Prospective Cohort Study of Patients at Risk or Having Pancreatic Disease

After informed consent, participants will be asked to complete a medical/family history
questionnaire and provide a blood sample. Some participants may also be asked to provide a

for clinical purposes may have these samples saved for research purposes. Participants will
also be asked for their permission for study investigators to access medical records and/or
recontact them for updates to their medical and family histories. Data and biospecimens will
be stored for potential future research projects.
