Abstract
I disuss a SUSY GUT model with a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry that explains the observed hierarchical pattern of quark and lepton masses. This SO(10)×Δ(75) model predicts modified quadratic seesaw neutrino masses and mixing angles which are interesting for three reasons: (i) they offer a solution to the solar neutrino problem, (ii) the τ neutrino has the right mass for a cosmologically interesting hot dark matter candidate, and (iii) they suggest a positive result for the νμντ oscillation searches by the CHORUS and NOMAD Collaborations. However, the model shares some problems with many other predictive GUT models of quark and lepton masses. The predictions from well-known mass and angle relations, such as the relation λbGUT=λτGUT, fail in many cases. Attempts to correct these relations seem to lead to rather contrived models.
