There has been previously described higher prevalence of Parkinsonism in small isolated region from the South-Eastern Moravia. We used NGS Ion AmpliSeq Exome method (IonTorrent) for two (A and B) subfamily trios. Each trio comprised of two affected and one healthy person. DNA exome libraries were sequenced on IonPI chips. Variants were predicted using Torrent Suite and Ion Reporter softwares. Aligned reads (BAM files) were than analyzed using Ion Reporter Whole Exome Trio workflow. Final filtering was done with respect to population frequency, variant effects and with respect to the presence of variants in Parkinsonism disease responsible genes. Last filter was done with respect to the segregation of the disease. Almost whole exome was sequenced with coverage 1-20 and 90% of exome was covered more than 20x in all the samples. Together more than 70,000 variants with average base coverage depth 75 were analyzable in both trios before filtering. After filtering there were found 99 and 96 variants in trio A and B respectively. The most potentially associating variants with parkinsonism are as given in tabulated form as follows:
