Many: There are many inherited diseases that are rare like Tay-Sachs which cause death. Ebola of course is still rare but is making headlines for its deadliness. The list of rare diseases that are lethal is long and most are inherited are uncommon infections. Is there one in particular you are looking for or do you have some symptom that needs evaluation?
