We discuss a source of light neutrino masses and leptogenesis in SO(10) unification theories, that was not previously recognized. It is present when the light lepton doublets belong (at least partially) to dimension-10 matter multiplets. At odds with previous leptogenesis scenarios, the CP asymmetry depends only on the low energy flavour parameters of the neutrino sector. We demonstrate that a successful generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is possible.
