Though the precise function and working of SOST remains unknown, an inhibitory effect on bone formation can be proposed since pathophysiological analysis indicated that sclerosteosis is primarily a disorder of increased formation of normal bone ( 7 ). [academic.oup.com]

Mutations in the SOST gene that cause sclerosteosis prevent the production of any functional sclerostin. A lack of sclerostin disrupts the inhibitory role it plays during bone formation, causing excessive bone growth. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
