To date numerical simulations of lattice QCD have not found a chiral phase transition of first order that is expected to occur for sufficiently light pions. We show how the restoration of an exact global chiral symmetry can strongly decrease the breaking of the approximate, anomalous UA(1) symmetry. This is testable on the lattice through simulations for one through four flavors. In QCD a small breaking of the UA(1) symmetry in the chirally symmetric phase generates novel experimental signals.
