We have shown that nonzero U{sub e3} is generated in a seesaw type softly broken A{sub 4} symmetric model through a single parameter perturbation in m{sub D} in a single element. We have explored all possible 9 cases to study the neutrino mixing angles considering the best fitted values of {delta}m{sub {center_dot}}{sup 2} and {delta}m{sub atm}{sup 2} with all parameters real. We have extended our analysis for the complex case and demonstrated large low energy CP violation (J{sub CP}{approx_equal}10{sup -2}) and m{sub ee} in addition to mixing and mass pattern. We have also investigated leptogenesis and for a reasonable choice of model parameters compatible with low energy data, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) value of baryon asymmetry 6x10{sup -10} is obtained for right-handed neutrino mass scale M{sub 0}{approx_equal}10{sup 13} GeV. We have obtained a relation among the phases responsible for leptogenesis and have shown that those phases also have correlations with low energy CP violating phases.
