Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects many areas of the body, primarily the eyes, hands, feet, genitals, and kidneys. In addition, people with BBS tend to be obese, have intellectual disabilities, and be at increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Reapportionment is the process by which the seats of the House of Representatives are redistributed among the states based on changes in population according to the Census which is conducted every 10 years.
Census results are used to determine the number of congressional seats apportioned to each state. Texas currently has 32 members of the United States House of Representatives as a result of the apportionment based on the 2000 census figures.
