Can Exome data be used for homozygosity mapping?

Is it possible to use whole exome data (VCF and BAM files) to look for regions of homozigosity? If so how would one go about it?

This tool has been developed for that purpose: http://genomecomb.sourceforge.net/docs/cg_homwes.html

I dont have any programming or computer science experience. Is there a non-command line/user friendly platform I can use?

I don't know any alternatives, but that doesn't mean that those don't exist...

But if that's a requirement you should state that in your question, that's important information. I don't think this tool is hard to use.
