How to extract hypervariable region of mitochondrial dna from its fasta file?

Recently I've done some analysis on mitochondrial DNA and now I want to run the same analysis on only hypervariable regions of mitochondrial DNA to see whether the changes that I have observed are linked to only hypervariable regions or not. To do that, I'll need to make new fasta files from the mitochondrial DNA entries that I have and I want to know how to extract those. Any leads will be appreciated.

genome sequence gene

There are several hypervariable regions in mtDNA, I know about at least two of them.

There is a kit to extract them
