We discuss the charged and neutral fermion masses and mixings in a supersymmetric SO(10) model with a minimal Higgs sector consisting of the multiplets 10H, 45H, and 16H + 16H. In addition to the renormalizable Yukawa couplings involving the Higgs 10-plet, we include non-renormalizable Yukawa couplings, which are important for reproducing with good accuracy the observed masses and mixings in the quark and lepton sectors. We identify a preferred solution which is compatible with third family quasi-Yukawa unification, namely yt ≈ yb ≈ 0.73 yτ at the unification scale, with the MSSM parameter tanβ∼ 58. Acceptable solutions with lower tanβ values are also realized in our framework, and we provide an example with tan β=10. Based on our fits, the masses for the three right-handed neutrinos turn out to be (M1,M2,M3)∼ (109, 8⋅ 1012, 9⋅ 1012) GeV. We briefly discuss the metastable and quasistable string scenarios that can be realized in this class of supersymmetric SO(10) models.
