I have a directory of MAF files obtained from TCGA and I want to convert it to VCF format. Data source: https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/repository?facetTab=files&filters=%7B%22op%22%3A%22and%22%2C%22content%22%3A%5B%7B%22content%22%3A%7B%22field%22%3A%22cases.project.project_id%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22TCGA-KIRP%22%5D%7D%2C%22op%22%3A%22in%22%7D%2C%7B%22op%22%3A%22in%22%2C%22content%22%3A%7B%22field%22%3A%22files.access%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22open%22%5D%7D%7D%2C%7B%22content%22%3A%7B%22field%22%3A%22files.data_category%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22Simple%20Nucleotide%20Variation%22%5D%7D%2C%22op%22%3A%22in%22%7D%2C%7B%22op%22%3A%22in%22%2C%22content%22%3A%7B%22field%22%3A%22files.data_format%22%2C%22value%22%3A%5B%22maf%22%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D&searchTableTab=cases

At least you need to tell everyone where you got this " a directory of MAF files obtained from TCGA".

Thanks for the heads-up. I've added the source of MAF files

It seems your MAF and reference matches well. So this is not the issue. You might want to check if you have any empty mafs; otherwise, you probably have to read the maf2vcf perl code to figure out what's going on.
