The class of transformations considered consists of equation of the form 2phi1(a,b;c;q,z)= f(a,b,c,z) 2phi1(L(a,b,c,q,z)), where f is a q-hypergeometric term and L a linear operator on the logarithms of the parameters. We moreover prove some results on q-difference equations satisfied by 2phi1, which are used to prove the main result.14 pagesCombinatorics33D15 ; 05A19text
