             <li>When there were multiple rows in the HerediCaRe classifications table the center details button would always open and close details of all rows</li>
             <li>Previously, an empty HerediCaRe table was shown on the variant details page when the variant was known to HerediCaRe, but was not classified. The empty table was removed in this case</li>
             <li>Longer insertions were previously clogging the header line. This was fixed by cropping the reference and alternative bases if their length is large</li>
+            <li>Fixed a bug where vcfs were not downloadable when the variant had HerediCaRe annotations but no center specific classifications</li>
