gnomAD reports variants with "NA" allele count and allele frequency

I recently downloaded sliced variant .vcf files from gnomAD. Upon downstream analysis, I noticed that some of my variants were annotated to have no reported allele count or allele frequency... Does anyone know how this could be? I assumed that if there was no count for this allele, the allele would not be in the file?

CHROM is 4. I downloaded from gnomAD exomes v2.1.1. When I searched rs779360656 in gnomAD, it shows that the allele frequency should be 0.000004518. Is it possible that I downloaded the genomes file by accident and the variants from exomes shows up?
