Variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 have been associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose. We analysed whether any of the 49 polymorphisms in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 previously associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose in a Genome-Wide Association study (GWAs) in Dutch population are associated with stroke recurrence, intracranial haemorrhage (icH) and acenocoumarol maintenance dose in a Spanish population. We performed a GWAs using Human Core Exome-chip (Illumina) in 78 patients stroke patients treated with acenocoumarol for secondary prevention enrolled as part of the prospective investigator-initiated study (IIS) SEDMAN Study. Patients were followed-up a median of 12.8 months. Three and eight patients had recurrent stroke and ICH events, respectively. We found 14 of the 49 published variants associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose (p < 0.05). Six polymorphisms were associated with stroke recurrence and four variants with ICH (p < 0.05). In A p-value of <0.001 was considered statistically significant after correcting for the 49 polymorphisms evaluated (Bonferroni test).We also evaluated which SNPs were in linkage disequilibrium (R 2 > 0.8). For the SNPs significantly associated with ICH events, rs7197475, rs4889490 and rs10871454 were independents. For the SNPs significantly associated with stroke recurrence, rs8046001, rs741810 and rs4086116 were independents and for acenocoumarol maintenance dose analysis: rs17790434, rs10871454, rs8046001, rs11642466 and rs9332169 were independents.Moreover, we have generated weighted polygenic risk scores (GRS) based on the independent polymorphisms (R 2 < 0.8) from the Teichert et al. GWAs 6 and analysed it for association with acenocoumarol maintenance dose, ischemic stroke recurrence and ICH events. Each value was obtained as described in the Supplemental Information and in Cullell N et al. 28 , for weighted GRS.Survival analysis. We used the Survival package 29 in R (Version 3.5.1) to perform survival analysis using Cox regression curves. We included age as a covariate in the Cox regression analysis.
