Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and is a major global public health event at present, most studies focus on the susceptibility to tuberculosis from the aspects of population host susceptibility gene IFNG and its receptor gene polymorphisms plays an important role in the infectivity of tuberculosis. In this paper, the known IFNG and its receptor gene loci and gene mutation defects are described to provide new ideas for exploring the treatment of tuberculosis in the future.
