Haemophilia and sickle cell anaemia are genetic disorders. Haemophilia is a condition in which blood doesn't clot at a normal rate. Sickle cell anaemia is a disorder in which the RBCs are collapsed and misshapen which makes the oxygen carrying capacity of blood to drop down. Ebola, tuberculosis and dengue fever are not genetic disorders, they are communicable diseases.
