Why is HGVS notation not available for some variants?

I have observed that VEP online (GRCH37) does not produce HGVS notation for some variants. For example giving this input:

1   45796269    45796269    G/C -

VEP produces results where HGVSc field is empty for all of them. However, this HGVS notation is produced for other variants. Any idea of why is this notation not being produced sometimes?

I think it' because your variant is the intron part, introns are not composing the cDNA.

This is correct (official Ensembl response)
