Conflict of Interest?

Interviewing for a position at a firm this summer that is a major player in their industry. My uncle works at the number 1 competitor of this company and is pretty high up. Would it be helpful or hurtful to mention that my uncle works at the competing firm?

It's a relatively niche industry (reinsurance) and my uncle got me interested in getting into the industry, so I might have mentioned him if I was asked how I got interested in reinsurance. Wondering whether that would help or hurt if they knew that, that's all
