Is there a known downside to this mutation? Like increased risk of autoimmune disorders?

I didn't see anything in the study looking at that aspect; but we may see future studies that reveal more, if interest in those alleles grows.

The immune system really is incredibly complex, so you just never know. Maybe someone will do a meta-study that looks at some other common denominators among the sample groups.
