Is it true that NIPT results for Down's syndrome should be confirmed by invasive testing due to the small false positive rate?

Yes. Because non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) functions as a screening tool rather than a definitive diagnosis and can yield false positives, professional guidelines and clinical evidence recommend that positive results for Down syndrome be confirmed via invasive testing.
