Extensions of the Standard Model with additional U(1) symmetries can describe the hierarchy of fermion masses and mixing angles, including neutrinos. The neutrino masses and mixings are determined up to a discrete ambiguity corresponding to the representation content of the Higgs sector responsible for the Majorana mass matrix. The solar and the atmospheric neutrino deficits as well as the COBE data, may be explained simultaneously in specific schemes motivated by symmetries. Using simple, analytic expressions, it is possible to demonstrate the known effect that for small $\tan\beta$, phenomenologically interesting neutrino masses would disturb the bottom-tau unification. This however can be avoided in schemes with a large $\mu-\tau$ mixing in the charged leptonic sector. On the other hand, for the large $\tan\beta$ regime, due to the fixed point properties of the top as well as the bottom coupling (which are described by analytic expressions, for sufficiently large couplings) no modification to the bottom-tau unification would occur. Still, large mixing in the $\mu$-$\tau$ sector is desirable in this case as well, in order to have a solution to the atmospheric neutrino problem. In the same schemes, a relatively heavy strange quark $\approx 200$ MeV is also predicted.
