				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				The present study was undertaken with the objectives to 
				characterize and to analyze combined genotypes of cluster of 
				differentiation 14 (CD14) gene to explore its association with 
				clinical mastitis in Karan Fries (KF) cows maintained in the 
				National Dairy Research Institute herd, Karnal. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				Genomic DNA was extracted using blood of randomly selected 94 KF 
				lactating cattle by phenolchloroform method. After checking its 
				quality and quantity, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was 
				carried out using six sets of reported gene-specific primers to 
				amplify complete KF CD14 gene. The forward and reverse sequences 
				for each PCR fragments were assembled to form complete sequence 
				for the respective region of KF CD14 gene. The multiple sequence 
				alignments of the edited sequence with the corresponding 
				reference with reported 
				
				Bos taurus 
				
				sequence (EU148610.1) were performed with ClustalW software to 
				identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Basic Local 
				Alignment Search Tool analysis was performed to compare the 
				sequence identity of KF CD14 gene with other species. The 
				restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was 
				carried out in all KF cows using 
				
				Helicobacter pylori 188I 
				
				(Hpy188I)
				
				
				(contig 2) and 
				
				Haemophilus influenzae I 
				
				(HinfI) 
				(contig 4) restriction enzyme (RE). Cows were assigned genotypes 
				obtained by PCRRFLP analysis, and association study was done 
				using Chi-square (χ2) 
				test. The genotypes of both contigs (loci) number 2 and 4 were 
				combined with respect to each animal to construct combined 
				genotype patterns. 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				Two types of sequences of KF were obtained: One with 2630 bp 
				having one insertion at 616 nucleotide (nt) position and one 
				deletion at 1117 nt position, and the another sequence was of 
				2629 bp having only one deletion at 615 nt position. ClustalW, 
				multiple alignments of KF CD14 gene sequence with 
				
				B. taurus 
				
				cattle sequence (EU148610.1), revealed 24 nt changes (SNPs). 
				Cows were also screened using PCR-RFLP with 
				
				Hpy188I 
				
				(contig 2) and 
				
				HinfI 
				
				(contig 4) RE, which revealed three genotypes each that differed 
				significantly regarding mastitis incidence. The maximum possible 
				combination of these two loci shown nine combined genotype 
				patterns and it was observed only eight combined genotypes out 
				of nine: AACC, AACD, AADD, ABCD, ABDD, BBCC, BBCD, and BBDD. The 
				combined genotype ABCC was not observed in the studied 
				population of KF cows. Out of 94 animals, AACD combined genotype 
				animals (10.63%) were found to be not affected with mastitis, 
				and ABDD combined genotyped animals was observed having the 
				highest mastitis incidence of 15.96%. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				AACD typed cows were found to be least susceptible to mastitis 
				incidence as compared to other combined genotypes. 
				
				Keywords:

				Haemophilus influenzae I, 
				mastitis, single nucleotide polymorphisms.
