Hello,

It might be that the GTF file you have supplied is not being parsed
correctly by gtf2vep.pl. If you add --verbose to your gtf2vep.pl command
you should hopefully see some warnings that might give you a clue what is
lacking in your file.

Our new beta release of VEP, ensembl-vep, includes much improved
functionality for using annotations in GFF/GTF, see
https://github.com/Ensembl/ensembl-vep for details. This beta will become
the official release of VEP in the coming weeks.

Regards

Will McLaren
