I just recalled one thing I remember from a Mayo site
regarding the rare hereditary disorder called Leber's optic
neuropathy.

The Mayo site is not accurate on this subject. It was previously thought that B12 could not be used in these patients (who tend to all have low levels ) but newer information states that it is the CYANO form that should not be used. Recommended form for these patients is hydroxy or methyl.
I could not find any sites besides the Mayo one that says not to use B12. They ALL have B12 as treatments (except for the cyano version).

So if you find an older site or one that uses old information you might find Leber's listed as a condition to not use B12.
