Is pretty clear that eating cholesterol doesn't lead to higher blood cholesterol. It just doesn't matter.

Its actually not "pretty clear"—about 25-30% of people are hyper responders who are impacted by dietary cholesterol.

You wouldn’t happen to know the specific genetic markers for this, it’s the only thing I’d like to know about myself so I could eat eggs guilt free. A cursory search keeps giving me not the results I want to see.

No, doctors still recommend limiting the intake of cholesterol in food, and also saturated fat. See:

"Most studies regarding cholesterol are bought and paid for by the egg industry. "

One of those Egg Council creeps got to you, too, huh?
