None whatsoever. Curses directed against intruders were very rare in Egyptian tombs anyway. In Tutankhamun's case the only object ever mentioned was a scarab bracelet containing a curse, attatched to a mummified hand, that was given to Sir Bruce Ingram, a friend of Howard Carter. It is certain that the hand was not Tutankhamun's, so the bracelet almost certainly had nothing at all to do with his tomb. Ingram's house burned down a few weeks after recieving this gift, but 1925 houses with their many open fireplaces and often less-than-perfectly cleaned chimneys were a fire hazard anyway.

The rare cases of deaths of people that had entered the tomb were 'natural' and easily explained in an era before the invention of antibiotics. The death of Lord Carnarvon, the excavation's main sponsor, is a case in point and it triggered almost all the 'curse'-stories invented by the newspapers.

Practically all of the people who entered the tomb lived long and happy lives afterwards.
