Abstract
Introduction: Over the last decade, the spread of next-generation sequencing technology along with the rising cost in health management in national health systems has led to widespread use/abuse of pharmacogenetic tests (PGx) in the practice of many clinical disciplines. However, given their clinical significance, it is important to standardize these tests for having an interaction with the clinical analysis laboratory (CAL), in which a PGx service can meet these requirements. Areas covered: A diagnostic test must meet the criteria of reproducibility and validity for its utility in the clinical routine. This present review mainly describes the utility of introducing PGx tests in the CAL routine to produce correct results useful for setting up personalized drug treatments. Expert opinion: With a PGx service, CALs can provide the right tool to help clinicians to make better choices about different categories of drugs and their dosage and to manage the economic impact both in hospital-based settings and in National Health Services, throughout electronic health records. Advances in PGx also allow a new approach for pharmaceutical companies in order to improve drug development and clinical trials. As a result, CALs can achieve a powerful source of epidemiological, clinical, and research findings from PGx tests.

Abstract
Lipidomics is a newly emerged discipline that studies cellular lipids on a large scale based on analytical chemistry principles and technological tools, particularly mass spectrometry. Recently, techniques have greatly advanced and novel applications of lipidomics in the biomedical sciences have emerged. This review provides a timely update on these aspects. After briefly introducing the lipidomics discipline, we compare mass spectrometry-based techniques for analysis of lipids and summarize very recent applications of lipidomics in health and disease. Finally, we discuss the status of the field, future directions, and advantages and limitations of the field.
