Seems to me there are some similarites between the Genie's Curse and DO's curse such as:

- Victims of both curses become immortal or at least they do not age.

- The genie has to grant the wishes of whoever rubs the lamp whereas the Dark One has to obey whoever posesses his dagger.

- The one who frees the genie using a wish has to take his place and the one who frees the Dark One by killing him (such as Rumple did) has to become the next Dark One.
