The only other case that is known is n=24: Abhinav Kumar and I solved that case (AnnalsOptimality and uniqueness of the Leech lattice among lattices, Annals of Mathematics 170 170 (2009), 1003-1050, http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/math.MG/0403263doi:10.4007/annals.2009.170.1003, arXiv:math.MG/0403263).

It might be possible to do n=9 using known methods, but it would be an enormous calculation. For the status as of a few years ago, see the end of Mathieu Dutour Sikiric, Achill Schuermann, and Frank Vallentin's paper "Classification of eight dimensional perfect forms" (http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/0609.5388).
