Background

Sclerostin (Sost) is a potent negative regulator of bone mass, where it normally inhibits Wnt signaling through interactions with low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein (LRP) 5/6 co‐receptors. Expression of the gene product sclerostin in bone is restricted to osteocytes. In the absence of Sost protein, patients develop two types of hyperostosis, sclerosteosis and van Buchem disease. Sclerosteosis and Van Buchem disease are two closely related bone disorders characterized by progressive bone thickening due to increased bone formation. Sclerosteosis is associated with mutations in the SOST gene and Van Buchem disease with a 52 kb deletion downstream of the SOST gene that probably affects transcription of the gene.
