 == Function ==Has a Dual function of photoreceptor visual synapse formation and visual perception
-== Disease ==Visual Impairments were seen in mice with deleted pikachurin gene. Pikachurin also plays very role in congenital muscular dystrophies(CMD) because any defect in the function can cause Muscle-eye-brain disease.
+== Disease ==Visual Impairments were seen in mice with deleted pikachurin gene. Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) such as muscle-eye-brain disease caused by defective glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG) exhibit defective photoreceptor synaptic function.
