Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Registration Statement) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act, for the registration of 575,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the Shares), of Dyne Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), including 75,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of an option to purchase additional shares granted by the Company.
The Shares are to be sold by the Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) to be entered into by and among the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Jefferies LLC, Piper Sandler & Co. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement, the form of which has been incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the issue and sale by the Company of the Shares. We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission. We have also examined and relied upon the Underwriting Agreement, minutes of meetings and actions of the stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, stock record books of the Company as provided to us by the Company, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended to date, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters.
