I have family history of other skin cancers, but not melanoma in any immediate family members. I was diagnosed with melanoma in situ last summer (at 18!), and I read an interesting article online about what the study called "familial melanoma." Such a young age at diagnosis definitely suggests a significant genetic component, maybe even a determinant?
