In addition, clinical signs along with the measurement of TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) and PTH (Parathyroid hormone) will help to rule out endocrine disorders (specifically hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, panhypopituitarism, and hyperparathyroidism) as the cause of a hyporegenerative, normocytic normochromic anemia. The gene discussed is PTH; the disease is anemia.
