Abstract: Special birational transformations $Phi:p^{r}daZ$ defined by quadric hypersurfaces are studied by means of the variety of lines $mathcal{L}_{z}subset{p}^{r-1}$ passing through a general point $zinZ$. Classification results are obtained when $Z$ is either a Grassmannian of lines, or the 10-dimensional spinor variety, or the $E_6$-variety. In the particular case of quadro-quadric transformations, we extend the well-known classification of Ein and Shepherd-Barron coming from Zak's classification of Severi varieties to a wider class of prime Fano manifolds $Z$. Combining both results, we get a classification of special birational transformations $Phi:p^{r}daZ$ defined by quadric hypersurfaces onto (a linear setion of) a rational homogeneous variety different from a projective space and a quadric hypersurface.
