I believe count will only count not-null anyway so this will always return zero. Try count(*) instead of count(maf). Here's an example:

st...@[local]=> select * from barr;
LOG:  duration: 0.226 ms
a | b
---+---
a | b
c | d
  | e
(3 rows)

st...@[local]=> select coalesce(a, 'a is null'), coalesce(b, 'b is null') from barr;
LOG:  duration: 0.283 ms
coalesce  | coalesce
-----------+----------
a         | b
c         | d
a is null | e
(3 rows)

st...@[local]=> select count(a) from barr;
LOG:  duration: 0.339 ms
count
-------
    2
(1 row)

st...@[local]=> select count(*) from barr where a isnull;
LOG:  duration: 0.350 ms
count
-------
    1
(1 row)
