The recent measurements of the solar neutrino mixing angle {theta}{sub sol} and the Cabibbo mixing angle {theta}{sub C} reveal a surprising relation, {theta}{sub sol}+{theta}{sub C}{approx_equal}({pi}/4), which has been interpreted as an evidence for quark-lepton unification. We show in realizations of quark-lepton unification that the PMNS mixing matrix can be decomposed into a CKM-like matrix and maximal mixing matrices. We explore a possibility to probe such implications by considering the relative sizes of branching ratios for the lepton flavor violating radiative decay processes, l{sub i}{yields}l{sub j}{gamma}, in the context of the supersymmetric standard model with heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos.
