We discuss renormalization effects on neutrino masses and mixing angles in a supersymmetric string-inspired SU(4)xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}xU(1){sub X} model, with matter in fundamental and antisymmetric tensor representations and singlet Higgs fields charged under the anomalous U(1){sub X} family symmetry. The quark, lepton and neutrino Yukawa matrices are distinguished by different Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. The presence of a second U(1){sub X} breaking singlet with fractional charge allows a more realistic, hierarchical light neutrino mass spectrum with bi-large mixing. By numerical investigation we find a region in the model parameter space where the neutrino mass-squared differences and mixing angles at low energy are consistent with experimental data.
