We present a simple extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos in a SUSY framework, with an additional 
abelian flavor symmetry with a non standard leptonic charge for lepton doublets and arbitrary right-handed charges. Our model predicts an inverted neutrino mass hierarchy and it is able to reproduce the experimental values of the mixing angles of the PMNS matrix and of the 
ratio, with only a moderate fine tuning of the Lagrangian free parameters. The baryon asymmetry of the Universe is generated via thermal leptogenesis through CP-violating decays of the heavy right-handed neutrinos. We present a detailed numerical solution of the relevant Boltzmann equation, accounting for the impact of the distribution of the asymmetry in the various lepton flavors.
